From one wilderness to the next

Our truck finally made it out on the barge from Gustavus to Juneau. It took 3 tries because the barge kept turning back due to rough seas and high winds.

We were treated to some great wildlife sightings, including a bear running down the road and a moose swimming the river. (We also have seen an eagle and a moose consorting with geese on the golf course.)

Loading the truck was only slightly stressful, but due to Robin's watchful eye, things went smoothly.

It's hard to leave such an awesomely beautiful and wild place. We truly enjoyed our time there, and found creative ways to cope with not having TV and internet.

See some pictures of our final days in Gustavus, including a baby porcupine nursing, a python, a toucan and more.
