Temperatures were cooler in Juneau, and our jackets came in handy. The air was so cool & crisp that we decided to take another hike. About 2 miles of steep roadways led to an old gold mining operation back in the gold rush.
Justin wanted to try his luck at panning for gold, so for $8, we bought a pan, siphon, and a glass container. It was worth it though, because we ended up with about $15 worth of gold, silver, and copper combined. Since it would cost more than that to refine and process, he decided to keep it to treasure.
In the evening, the inside passage was breathtaking. Whales were spouting and their tail fins broke the surface. Although I never saw one jump completely out of the water, other passengers on board did. They surfaced in areas I didn't have my camera focused, so unfortunately, no picture of the whales.
At dinner, it was formal night, so we all dressed up for pictures. This one is taken in the ships' main deck at the foyer.
