This page contains two of my photo albums from past vacations. My 2001 kayaking trip in British Columbia, and my 2002 river rafting trip in Alaska.  In 2001, I took a week long kayaking trip to the Inside Passage in British Columbia, Canada. The trip was run by Northern Lights Expeditions, and was the best vacation I have ever taken. It all began with a seaplane flight from the Seattle, WA area to Port McNeill on Vancouver Island. The trip included five days of kayaking in the Inside Passage, camping at two different campsites, White Beach on Compton Island, and Shaker on Hanson Island. From these two sites the tour paddled to a variety of islands, including a visit to Mamalilaculla, a native village on Village Island. Another highlight of the vacation was paddling along side a small pod of orcas (killer whales). These beautiful animals swam under and past my kayak, and it was a breathtaking experience.

This time, my travels took me to Anchorage, Alaska, where I met my guides from Osprey Expeditions and embarked for my river rafting trip down the Copper River along the western border of the Wrengell-St. Elias National Park & Preserve and the Chugach National Forest. The river portion of the trip began in Chitina and ended in the Copper River Delta near Cordova. Along the journey down river, we paddled through Miles Lake, under the Million Dollar bridge, and past the calving Childs Glacier.
