CREEK STREET - KETCHIKAN
Creek Street was the
Red Light District from the late 1800’s
to early 1900’s. “Where the men and fish come up the creek to spawn”. The houses of ill repute are now shops and
boutiques.
This small town is so friendly and quaint. There are only about 2000 residents and only 1 cruise ship comes in at a time. Sunday was sunny and warm, we just explored the area and sat by the harbor and watched the crab boats coming and going.
We took a jet boat ride out to the LeConte Glacier. We were hoping to see whales or dolphins. There were fins that we assume were dolphins, how come they don't jump clear out of the water like they do on TV? The ice flows provided resting places for the harbor seals and their pups, also safety. The protected cove is too full of ice bergs, which keeps the Orcas out. We saw upwards of 150 - 200 basking in the sun.
Great adventure
