from the harbor at Ketchikan

Another tidy little community nestled in the foothills in an inlet.

Populaton of 7,000 -- a large community for Alaska. Chatted with a father who was fishing with his adult son on the bridge in the upper right of the photo.

We chatted about when migrating salmon lost their appearance and taste. Mentioned that I spent some time in the Kenai. He said he was saving his money to move there.

Said he needed to treat his medical condition -- gold fever.

It still exists up here.
