There are places....that are beautiful, due to the fact there untouched by man!
Sitka is one of those places. We thought we would be here 2 years...but instead it was only 60 days!
When one See's Sitka for the first time...it feels like a quaint European town.
Sitka was a lead Russian Trading post for Fur's.
The Original Russian church was burnt to the ground...it was then reconstructed to look the same...it is located in the heart of this Town.
Sitka is a Island, a rain forest, in the north pacific, with big snow covered mountains and islands thru out the Sitka sound...
And there is also a wonderful dormant Volcano Mt, Edgcumbe.
The beauty of this place also holds the beauty of wildlife. And in the 60 days we were here...I got to see the wildlife we had hoped to see....
while traveling to the job site..and were our 5th wheal was going to be parked...down this side of the island....and around ...the bend...
Was this beautiful bald eagle..and I was lucky enough to catch him in flight...it was in this area that we also go to see ....
Humpback whales! there were 2 pods. I am only posting the pic's that show, the show we got to experience...humpbacks rarely breach...so this is basically what you see...them coming up for air..and then...
one went for a deep dive :) aaaaa so fun!
across from the job site...I got to meet...this fella...
A big black bear! isn't he cute! he was waiting for his dinner. The bear sanctuary was right across the street from the job site. This is wear the injured or baby bears go until they can be let loose in the wilds....so even tho...I didn't meet this guy in the wilds (something I don't think would be so thrilling) I enjoyed watching him in his sanctuary.
This I found on a bench...right before a hiking trail...and this sums up..the beauty, of Sitka...so small and so much of the island uninhabited by man......and this is why..I am a country girl....
This was taken outside my 5th wheal one morning.... on Herring Bay...........
and Hubby got to do...his favorite thing...with the guys....
Fishing on our boat!
I think... our 60 days...were filled with the Sitka, Alaska experience. As always, what I will miss most are the people I met, knowing I may never see them again, and yet in these 60 days, our paths crossed..our lives met and forever they will now be a part of my life...my memories...
Tomorrow we fly out. We are back in the Hotel....
Our things are being loaded on the barge's....and we say goodbye to this quaint little town...
and we leave behind these memories to a new adventure ahead..... and that is what makes life exciting. Its filled with so many possibilities.....

Sitka was a lead Russian Trading post for Fur's.
With the Russian flavors and Natives and then a American way of life...its a very small town with big flavor...only 20 miles of roadway on this island but known for being one of the best fishing ports...and all along the Inhabited part of the island fishing boats. This pic really shows what the town looks like. and then there is the beauty of nature....

What a glorious place to spend time. I got to go there a few years ago and it was like being in a foreign country. It really has a charm of it's own and you got some wonderful photos to share! Sweet hugs!
ReplyDeleteTree are so many places I would like to see. This could be one I know I would enjoy. Thanks or sharing, to be that close to a bald eagle is amazing!
