Seven-Years Ago (29-August-2009) — Alaska Marine Highway

Gone to See North America Road Trip. Day 08: Alaska Marine Highway on the MV Columbia.

Although the day started out foggy, it cleared up and we had wonderful vistas while traveling north on the MV Columbia ferry through the inner passage to Alaska. I met a number of passengers that were camping out on the Solarium deck for the voyage.
