The first thing we did was watch a Lumberjack Show. I had NO idea how big lumber-jacking is!!! It's a HUGE sport in the area! All of the lumberjacks in the show are serious competitors year round. As an audience, we were broken up into 2 teams--The United States & Canada. We were to cheer for our team and boo/hiss the other team. We were on the US team and we lost:/ Oh well, still SOO much fun to watch!
We then walked around the town. The histories of the Northwestern towns are quite risqué! All of these town had "red-light" districts. I guess when the majority of the population are Lumberjacks and Gold Miners, women had a better chance of finding a man here:) We also took a hike on "Married Mans Trails" which took us to the top of a mountain where we had the most beautiful views of Ketchikan and our boat:)
We could have spent several more hours here. It was a perfect day with perfect weather. It was sure nice to get off the boat after a whole day at sea the day before (Sunday). I absolutely LOVED this little town!
