AAAaahhhhh, get me out of here!!!

If anybody wants to send me anything,... here is my address,  above w/ Ketchikan, AK  99901

I am learning how to use the timer thing on my camera and the cropping feature and this is what I came up with.  I'm trying to take pictures with me in them.

I took this picture on May 20 something?  around 9:45 pm  I was trying to get a feel for what the late evenings look like here.

My house mates were given some crab,  this is them right after they cooked 'em up good.   Mmmmmmm

We took a hike Saturday on a day off up near this quiet lake.  Below,... me and the lake behind me.

I was trying to get this vicious animal to look into the camera.  He wasn't cooperating.

And this is what you get when you ask someone to take a picture of you with the beautiful stream behind you.,... My  head nearly cut off and no stream in the background to be seen of at all.

End of the day,... ship sailing away.

 This is a vehicle that is used to take tourist up to a Zip Line course.  I got to go on one of those tours.  I lot of fun, but I don't have any pictures of that.  Still I rode in one of these.

I saw this woman holding this bird (Great Horned Owl) and ran over and asked if I could take a picture.  Pretty cool.

Tried to take another picture of myself.  I even have my cute little uniform thing on.  =]

A better picture of my baby.

In front of one of the Cruise ships,... if you couldn't tell.

Another ship coming in to port.

We went to this bird sanctuary.  I was really cool to see these birds up close.  Thought Larry D. would like this.

This is a carving on the wall.  about 8 ft. x 4 ft. Thought Dad would find the art work interesting.

On a bridge taken just at the bottom of the hill from where I am living. It has a high tide and low tide.  right now it is not at either extreme.  Somewhere in between.

Sorry for not responding to your comments.  It is fun getting them,  however, I thought I was responding by e-mail and apparently it doesn't work that way.  And then the blogging service site was down for maintenance for a few days.   Anyway, I will try to figure out how to respond to comments.  In the meantime I have some more pictures I hope you will all like.  :)

There it is. 

 The first Cruise ship of the summer. 

I took some guests for a nice swim today. 

 There is a snorkeling tour here.   

I even saw some whales.  

Picture taken at the end of the day from my back porch.

On the Dock,  looking to the right.  See the cool airplane?

Looking to the right a little more.

Looking straight ahead from the drivers seat.

Looking to the left.  'East'

I thought I'd post a few pictures of myself so you won't forget what I look like.  That is my bus in the back ground.  #790  VIP COACH.                                                                                                            It is a 1972 GMC with no power steering. Cool.

One of the many Totem poles around here.  I am suppose to learn all about them and tell visitors stories.  We well just have to see how that goes.,... Perf.

The same Totem as above.  This is a medium size pole,  but still pretty cool.

We were treated to a crab feast. This is my plate after I was done with dinner, but before dessert. 

This is a picture of the crab shack taken from the boat. 

This little water fall and the picture behind me could have been taken on the same bridge. One at a 180 deg. from the other.  The pathway is just a short walk between the two sites.  They say that Salmon will be swimming up this stream to lay their eggs.  I haven't seen any yet but it will be cool when they come.  This is the furthest south that we will be taking visitors.  At the very end of the road,... there is an old Cannery that the visitors see, and take a tour.

Picture taken literally from my back porch.  This was the first sunny day since I've been here.  I've been here for a week now.   

This picture is of Ketchikan.  It was taken from a hotel lobby window right next to the house where I am living.  It has pretty much been raining all day. We saw a couple of dear right in our back yard.  Houses really don't have yards around here.  I went to church today.   It was Stake Conference.  There is a Ward here but still pretty small.   I hope to make some good contacts.  The people are really friendly. 

These people are some of the guys I drove up to WA with.   Didn't know them then but I know them a little bit now.  We will all be working up here in AK.

My group was lucky enough to get to drive this baby back to Seattle WA.

Here is me with a picture of me and my Kodiak friend.
