Back to POW for some tourism while carrying a rifle.

I booked all my air, ferry, vehicle, and lodging yesterday for 10ish days on POW in June. Not my usual wet-for-ten-days tent trip. I've been wanting MRS to come to Alaska with me for years and she has agreed to come along. We'll be glamping at a cabin in Whale Pass and I will be showing her the things I love about Prince of Wales.

I have a Spring Bear tag, so the rifle is coming along. If we bump one big and dumb I will take the shot. The cabin has meat processing and freezer.

June 6th-13th.

MRS is having a hip replacement when we get back. This is our first vacation together in a few years. FWIW - if you ever need a wheelchair on POW, there is a place in Klawock that will loan you one for free.

Looking on Amazon for rain gear to fit MRS.

Amazon says others who searched "women's rain gear" also searched for knives and meat grinders.

Is that the hunters or the serial killers?

Wheels up at 0614 hrs.

More than the usual board stress as they saved my big oversized rolling RubberMaid tub for very last.

Paid over weight fees and it has my rifle bolt in it. All the fishing gear and misc gear too.

If they did load I paid money extra hassles. Plus a useless rifle in the SKB case.

All worked out.

Chilling in first class hoping MRS45 enjoys this trip. I will.

Got everything onboard ‘made it to SEATAC.

3 hour layover became 3 1/2.

Now will be a struggle to make the IFA to POW. Jettisoning all the Ketchikan activities for today.

Fingers crossed.

Touch and go but we got our luggage and a taxi.

We are chilling on the IFA ferry forward observation lounge.

Whales maybe?
