Lighthouse, Totems, and Eagles





Another fun trip this morning. Captain Bob Took us around several islands outside of Ketchikan to see the eagles, a lighthouse and the totems at Saxton Bight State Park. We lost count of how many eagles we saw, but at least 25. We saw ten nests and one had a fuzzy baby eagle holding his head out. The lighthouse was built in 1906 on a lonely island. We didn’t see as many totems as we’d expected to see from the description of the tour, but other than that, It was a very fun tour.
Ketchikan is built on a hill and some houses are up the hill with the only way to get to them by along staircase with several landings. These staircases actually have street names and it is the responsibility of the city to clear them when it snows.
