Ketchikan -- Salmon Capital of the World

Ketchikan is the wettest city in America with over 12 feet of rain each year!  We happened to be there on a dry day.  The salmon were running, and we had the chance to watch them swimming upstream, leaping over boulders and using the salmon ladder.  We also got to eat some fantastic sushi in Ketchikan!  While in port we went to a lumberjack show.  The lumberjacks threw axes, climbed polls, had log-rolling contests and the like.  Very entertaining.

There was lots of chopping

Look who else is a lumberjack!
