what's going on guys dave here just returning from a trip to southern alaska never been before
uh i am from atlanta georgia where right now it is it's only 10 45 a.m and almost
90 degrees and extremely humid so uh and this is also early part of july
so we went to ketchikan alaska which is the first city north from you know from the upper 48 states
and uh it is about 25 to 30 degrees cooler there it is a fishing town and also a
a ship town i guess you could say you know for cruise ships to dock
very small town only between 10 and 12 000 population
tiny little airport uh you know no bridges so you have to take you have to take a ferry everywhere
you go you know if you're like if you're coming from the airport you just want to go right across
this little river to get to the mainland you gotta take a ferry and it's only like a three minute
ferry ride because they have so many large cruise ships coming through that same waterway
they can't build a bridge because uh it's just not physically possible to make some giant bridge
and it's such a short span anyway so yeah you take a ferry right off the bat coming off the
airport uh cute town you know it's got you'd think it would have amazing seafood restaurants because
salmon and halibut and cod is fished there like crazy i mean we we ate at uh quite a
few restaurants around there in the in the days we stayed and honestly aside for some from some pizza
we had the best pizza at a mexican restaurant and there's also the best chinese chinese food
at a restaurant named diaz i mean just some odd things there but basically that town is a ghost
town when there are no cruise ships coming in uh but you know a very small town kind of uh
kind of high poverty rate you know like more than 10 poverty rate there and but beautiful
weather gorgeous you know in the low 70s high 60s when it's sunny high 50s when it's cloudy
the water you know is just gorgeous you know there's no sand it's all rocky
beautiful mountains around beautiful walking trails hiking trails
and um it was it was a beautiful trip for sure the only problem is it's a
very long flight from here you know from atlanta you got to fly to seattle
then it's an hour and a half flight from seattle to catch a can but beautiful scenery from the
air as well so because you get to see rocky mountains snow-capped mountains even in july
so um but if you're looking for somewhere to go to get away from the heat from wherever you
live i recommend it you know see if you can find something on vrbo or uh airbnb you know find a
like a cottage for rent or something like that there's some great fishing also if you
want to stay in a in a location where they will actually take you on guided fishing
and uh you can stay in a little apartment right there on the water a lot of we saw a lot of people
doing that we stayed in a cottage actually um about 15 minutes north of downtown ketchikan
and uh you know we were there for fourth of july and it was really nice you know they got
people with with the fireworks shows and stuff fail right around and uh did a lot of walking
around downtown as well as uh you know hiking trails and stuff like that anyway just wanted
to throw that guy at you and uh i'll throw up some videos and photos and things of the trip
and uh yeah well hot already goodness we just got back late last night and as soon as we wake up
it's like 90 degrees not even noon yet ugh so yeah that's the only thing i don't like about living in
atlanta which i am a native of is when it gets hot it is freaking hot and not comfortable and anyway
