I think I can in Ketchikan

Tuesday we pulled into Ketchikan. We woke up and had a morning breakfast to give us plenty of energy before beginning our first excursion. Our first excursion . . .bike riding. Our goal . . . not to pass out. The hills weren’t very tall, but still tough for an out-of-shape father and son. It left us chugging up those hills sayin “I think I can, I think I can.” We successfully made it to the end of the one highway in the city, and got to experience a short hike through the Tongas National Forrest. With beautiful greenery, this is actually a rain forest. Prior to the excursion my dad and I were wondering if we could make it on the Clover Pass Bike Tour. Now we know we can, in Ketchikan. Then we walked to downtown Ketchikan and looked around before heading back to our ship. Wednesday we are heading out to go fishing for the elusive King Salmon.
