Taking the Land Rover off-road in Utah. Just one of several trails we found.

Here you can see the town below that has been irrigated!

Continuing our tradition, we visited every nearby university along the way. We also visited the BYU campus in Provo.

Great Salt Lake is behind me, I swear!

The Salt Lake City Temple. SLC is the world-wide center of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, also known as the Mormons.

We spent a couple of days in Oak Harbor visiting Jason, Melissa, Cody, Courtney and their big dog Thor.

Me and my buddy Cody. We had a fun couple of days. He beat me several times in soccer.

Look at that smile!

Cruising up the coast just outside of Canada

A Canadian Coast Guard lighthouse

Absolutely beautiful scenery along Alaska's southeastern panhandle. Just like a cruise but without the midnight buffet!

This is where we started seeing larger mountains with snow!

Alaska's first city - Ketchikan. The ship didn't exactly drop us off near downtown. Unless you call walking 7 miles roundtrip close!

Lots of sail boats around.

Next to one of Ketchikan's famous totems

Ever seen the Great Alaskan Lumberjack Competition on ESPN? This is where it's held.

Yep. You know me. Hangin' out in the old "Red Light" district. I didn't even get her name!

Water way that split the road. It was a neat sight.

A great view of the river and "Creek Street."
