A couple of years ago, my brother Bob suggested we ski from Tenakee Springs to Hoonah, Alaska - for the most part on old logging roads. His main motivation is to allow his siberian husky, Haagu, to pull him along the whole way. They've both had plenty of practice "skijouring."
I initiated two more suckers: Joey, brother Bob's son-in-law, and Dr. Bob, a friend and co-outdoorsperson.
First step? Just getting there! After a late Saturday night revisiting a basketball tournament two point championship loss over and over, it was on to a bright and early ferry ride from Sitka to Juneau. It was, however, a beautiful day.

This looks up Port Frederick to the south.
As the ferry sailed west on Icy Strait, this picture looks over toward the mainland and Home Shore.
