Day 35-36 – Juneau, AK 09/24-25/10 Mileage: 0
The past two days have been a nice break from the daily riding. Although the weather was cold and rainy, I still got to see the sights…and was glad to not have to ride in it! I ran some errands, tracked down a new headlight bulb for the bike and got a haircut. Juneau is a great town with a very walk-able and cool downtown area. I walked around with Phil, Kelly and Rebecca (and Fiona) and went to the Alaska Brewery to sample the goods!

I got to spend time with Dori and lots of her Forest Service friends which was great fun! They are a great bunch of people, all very friendly, adventurous and with interesting personal stories.

She also took me to an “end of the tourist season” party at a local bar…well, end of the season save for one smelly biker! The Mendenhall Glacier near town was also spectacular despite the weather.

Tomorrow morning it’s up early and off to the ferry terminal to catch the fast ferry to Sitka.

Just beautiful pictures, Lenny, hope the weather holds until you get south.
I have enjoyed that very same beer Lenny! Hope you’re not feeling any ill effects of your travels yet – we’re all following you over here. The missus and I are loving the spectacular photos. Keep it up! Hope to see you over this way on one of your travels. All the best – Ryan
Hey Ryan….great to hear from you! If I make it over to the UK you can be sure we’ll be getting a pint! I hope all else is well with you…
