Tunnel to Whittier

Points of Interest

The 2.5 mile tunnel to Whittier (and the only access to to town other than via boat in Prince Edward Sound) is the longest railroad / highway tunnel in North America! There is a stop light at either end and since the tunnel is only one lane wide, traffic can only go in or out of the town once every half hour or hour, depending on the time of day.

Alaska Vacation

My family went on a cruise in southeastern Alaska at the end of August. It was more beautiful there than I had imagined! We did all sorts of fun things -- from fly fishing for salmon to kayaking in Sitka to flying over the Alaska Range and Mt. McKinley to admiring a 74 pound cabbage at the state fair. Our trip to Alaska was a true adventure!
