Totem poles and rain

We've decided to spend one more day in Ketchikan before we move on. Today we are going to try to do some relaxing and get a bit of boat work done. We've spent the last few days walking a lot, and getting drenched in the process. It's been raining pretty much the whole time we've been here. The location and topography of Ketchikan makes it a great funnel for weather. In the evenings we have been running both shore power heat and our Dickinson diesel heater to dry out, and it's been very cozy.
Yesterday we did a hike up to Deer Mountain. The buses weren't running (no service on July 4th) so it ended up being about a 9 mile jaunt since we had to walk to the trail head. Nine miles isn't much, but it's been a few months since our last real hike so it felt like a good work out. It was a good change to go into the woods - the forests are incredibly lush here. A couple of days ago when the buses were running we went south to Saxman and then north to Totem Bight to check out the totem pole collections. The above photo is from Totem Bight.
