Back in 2005, six of us took a 12-day cruise and land tour to Alaska. Between the four of us taking photos, we had over 5000 pictures, with me taking 4000 of them.
Awesome country, and I want to go back, too, but it won't be on a cruise. I want to see more of Alaska and not so much of the Inside Passage. So, if we get to go again, we will fly up and either rent an RV or rent an SUV and stay in hotels. Right now, renting an RV would be my preference.
Good pictures and you've just proven that bears "pooh" where they want to, not necessarily in the woods.
Speaking of bears, here is a photo of one that I took at Denali National Park from one of the tour busses. This lady was digging for a ground squirrel.
