He was also the lone dissenter on the Warren Commission.

Took a cruise up there this summer. Did all the excursionary stuff at all the ports. I want to go back and do off the beaten path in shore stuff.

It was a bucket list thing for me and I enjoyed it but I want to go back without the cruise aspect with maybe hunting mixed in.

We also went into BC and took a train down to the port. It was the prettiest place I have seen in person. Truly God's handy work.

I would love to live there.

Y’all really make me want to visit. I always wanted to visit someplace as pretty as Cicely, AK from Northern Exposure but it seems the mosquitoes are an unspoken , necessary evil never spoken of.

A visit is on my bucket list, but I just don’t see us doing it.

That railroad was built in 9 months. Truly amazing what could be done in the days before inflation and over regulation.

They've been trying to build a road between Juneau and Skagway for decades and nothing has been accomplished except millions spent on studies.

In this political environment, it will never be built.

Juneau or Sitka are just a two hour flight from Seattle.

Juneau makes a nice winter getaway.
