Wow, you can ferry that whole way? How long did that take? Sounds like a very cool experience.

It depends on where you go. It IS a cool experience. There were many experienced travelers who wanted to see the Inside Passage without taking a cruise, so you meet and hang out with a lot of nice people. Others are SE residents bringing goods, cars, pets, etc back from WA. SE is closer to WA than to the rest of AK. Some people take it up to Skagway then drive the AlCan back. I met at least 6 motorcyclists doing this.
There have been huge budget cuts under the current governor and some in SE AK wonder if the system will survive, so anyone interested should go sooner than later.

Nothing at all related to skiing, but my happy place (in summer) - Butter Island, Maine in East Penobscot Bay. Accessible only by boat, and forever wild thanks to a conservation easement from the Cabot family.

That looks wonderful, @BReeves215 ! We love going to Bailey Island in the off-peak season, but it isn't exactly "remote." Some day I'd love to retire to Maine. Hope springs eternal.

We have been under a layer of smoke in the mornings that has cast a dark shadow on a dry and warm fall in the Tetons. If I did not know better I would guess fog or clouds. PC webcam from JHMR website
what was for dinner and where are you located?

Home made chili, cornbread, guacamole and the promise of candy from our concession stand in our movie room for dessert while watching “Cars” on the big screen. (Heck, I’d cartwheel, too, is that was my evening!) We live in central Vermont.

There are two purple houses within a block of me. One is eggplant with olive green trim, the other is lilac with aqua trim. If you recognize the color combinations let me know - we're neighbors.

@VickiK - it’s for real, as far as I know. Would be an expensive Halloween prank.
@Christy - the lilac cottage is cute. It also looks like it about 25% of the size of this one, so less overwhelming.
@RachelV - I don’t like it when everything is the same color, either. And where I wouldn’t paint my house this color, it's not my house. Still makes me giggle to drive by it.
@brooksnow - this is the only purple house I know. Not neighbors.

It's a 916 sf cottage. It's actually cuter than the real estate photos make it look; in spring the front garden is full of peonies.
