Wyatt Earp, and John Galt enjoy Coca Colas on the alcohol verboten ferry. At least that's what their cups say.

Bush planes and Alaska pretty much go together, particularly in this maritime section where settlements cannot be reached by land.

For the record it is spelled moulin and your glacier was the Herbert Glacier. Thanks for being the group scribe. Until next time.

Whoops. I was able to correct the Facebook version. Your post will have to suffice as correction for the email version.
Dear Steve,
You obviously were wowed by the scenery on your ride to Haines. I would be interested to see how you compare that to the scenery of the Alaska Marine Ferry ride to Prince Rupert, B.C.
In 1973, when our kids were .5 years and < than 2, we rode that route and were blessed by sunny weather all the way- spectacular!
Enjoy your ride.

Love the long wearing Heidenau tires you recommended for the F800 GS.
I found Mendenhall to be awesome.
