the .5 part …the arrival
after weaving in and out of mountains (Juneau isn't the most accessible airport) we finally arrived in Juneau. first order of business was to take care of the rental car. Once that was done we made our way to Juneau, a pleasant surprise compared to Anchorage.
we quickly checked into our hotel, the silver bow, dropped off our bags and set out for dinner and a night out in Juneau. we went the recommended restaurant, the hanger, that sits on the water and looks out over the Gastineau throughway. dinner was highlighted by some cocktails followed by some shots.
long story short, it was a long eventful night hanging out with some of navy’s finest ….one of which i played lacrosse against at Georgetown….we reminisced about the overtime game we won in the worst weather conditions ever…small world.below is a picture
anyway, Chris and i called it a night at around 2:30….we think
the next day we got up at the crack of dawn to go dog sledding. the plan was to take helicopters up into the mountains where we would land at dog camp. from there we would board our sleds and journey across the mountains. as each of us took turns guiding the sleds, barking out commands, i couldn't help but start laughing hysterically ….who am i and what am i doing right now.
below are some of the pictures that capture the day:
on the helicopter…our mustaches are really gross/awesome/weird/amazing
just after we landed at dog base camp.
one thing is for sure …these dogs love what their doing.right as we were getting ready to set off the entire dog camp erupted in barks and houls….see the video below
the view from the sleds
me and this guy hit it off
after sledding around for the day the helicopters picked us up and we headed back to Juneau
one of the highlights of the day happened on the walk back to the hotel. it went sorta like this
Trevor: Chris, are you alright, you kinda look green
Chris: yea, im ok
Trevor: are you going to get sick
Chris: yeah i think so….BLHAAAAA
too funny …i guess the night before finally caught up with him
thats it for today…see everyone tomorrow
