Default Re: Jim and Lyndi ZR-1 Road Trip 2019 - Back to Alaska

Day 10 Monday

On Monday morning we sailed past Juneau, AK and further north to the ferry terminal. From the channel, we could see Mendenhall Glacier behind Juneau:





The ferry terminal is 12 miles from Juneau city center and we only had two hours in port so we decided to fore go a visit to the city. Fellow travelers offered to give us a ride to Auke Bay which is 1 mile from the terminal. We got to ride in their 1984 VW Vagagon. It was pretty cool.






We had hoped to find a gift shop open before 8 AM but there weren't any shops at all so we walked the mile back to the terminal:




Juneau was the last stop for us before Haines where we would disembark. The Ferry went on to Anchorage.

One of the computers that we carry is a small Surface Go by Microsoft. It is the size of a small iPad but runs a full version of Windows 10 so it can do everything our bigger notebooks can do. I also added a USB GPS receiver that interfaces with a Microsoft mapping program that does not require a WIFI or cellular connection to show our location on a simple map:



Here are some of the fantastic views along the route to Haines:
