My wife and I have been absolutely captivated by your journey, and we feel as though we have vicariously lived it with you. Thank you so much for this. Your vision and bold spirit are both inspiring and mesmerizing. Your narration is poetry, and your vision makes a two dimensional video spring into reality in our living room. We lost ourselves in the moment - rarely if ever has a YouTube video had such a visceral impact. We wish you peace, happiness, and a life full of smiles and love. In gratitude.

This just gets
Having grown up on Canada's west coast in Victoria B.C., as a kid, I spent summers on my parents boat, traveling the west coast, including to Alaska. Definitely changed in 50 years. So cool to revisit. Thanks for taking us along.
Looking forward to your next video, traveling the inside passage, having been there too !
Cheers, and thank you again.

Cora and Jose' thanks so much for expanding our exposure to Ketchikan. Cindy and I stopped by briefly on our Alaskan cruise last year. Did I hear eagles on your Rainbird trail hike? I did have the time to enjoy a walk on Creek Street 👍

We were so bummed to miss seeing y'all in Ketchikan by just one day! We were blessed to have amazing weather though, and with a rented car, we drove from the northernmost to the southernmost ends of the pavement around town! There are so many incredible vistas and places to see, and you went to lots of great ones!

[heartsong]

Stunning camera work. ❤ I’ll be visiting in August. I can’t wait!

I really, really enjoyed this video. Your narration was so interesting, and your editing was beautiful!

I got the chance to visit Ketchikan about 25 years ago. My husband and I helped some dear friends move from Ketchikan back to Arizona. I got to see the totems at Saxman, but we did not get to do a tour as we were quite busy helping our friends. Now I really wish we had. In fact it looks like we missed quite a few very cool things. We did get to go on a tour to the Misty Fiords, that was a lot of fun and oh so beautiful, we got to drink some water that comes straight off a glacier, it was the best water I have ever had!

Great video photography & presentation! 1st time here, now I'm hooked and will be checking out your other videos. Thanks!

[GlendasSpiritMeditations]

Great job guys very professional video. Gonna go find more of them now

[washingtonbob]

Another fabulous YouTube adventure! I absolutely love the video and still photography along with a superb sound track...simply world class. In 2022 I shared time with Master Carver Nathan Jackson in Saxman Village and I believe it was life changing for me and my artistic journey.
Master Jackson encouraged my mixed media photography and gave me invaluable tips on color and composition. He is one of a kind and incredibly nice as well. Thank you for showing Ketchikan in such a favorable light...it is perhaps my favorite place to stay in all of Alaska.
