Shelikof Beach, Kruzoff Island, Sitka, Alaska

I was looking at some of my photos today.  This was taken on Shelikof Island which is outside of Sitka right on the Gulf of Alaska.  ML and I took the bicycles over on the boat, rode across the island on an old logging road, and then walked another mile to a Forest Service cabin.  It was early September in 2009 and we hit a beautiful stretch of weather.  The cabin is right in front of a wide and beautiful white sand beach.  

This night, we built a fire on the beach and watched the sun go down. 

The moon was rising in the other direction.  For those of you who have been in Sitka, you're looking at the back side of Mt. Edgecumbe. 

It was a fantastic trip, and the boat didn't even drag anchor by the time we got back to it!

It always makes me think, too, how many great experiences and fun that ML and I have been lucky enough to have - with others and just us two.
