I returned July 12th from kayaking the Inside Passage with Dave and Amy of Wilderness Classroom along with Clayton.  What an amazing experience and I will be working to put up my photos and videos on my website as soon as I can.  I have some impressive video to edit and post of our close encounters with humpback whales and our memorable evening paddling on the night of summer solstice. This 1,200 mile 2 and a half month kayak adventure from Bellingham, WA to Skagway, AK was just the first leg of Dave and Amy's 3 year, 11,000 mile North American Odyssey

Note* This is not a photo I took... although we did encounter Orcas several time, it was the humpbacks that provided the memorable encounters and soon to be uploaded videos.

Follow Dave and Amy as they continue with their North American Oddysey  After Clayton and myself finished the first leg with them.. kayaking the inside passage from Bellingham, Washington to Skagway, Alaska.. Dave and Amy have hiked over the Chilkoot Pass.. of Klondike Goldrush fame and are now canoeing down the Yukon River. As the Yukon heads more westerly they will again hike over some mountains and once again canoe..this time down the Blackstone and Peel Rivers.. Eventually they will paddle upstream on the McKenzie River.. After coming home in early October, they go back in January where they left off and begin the dog sledding portion.. Come the approach of spring.. The begin where the dog sleds stopped...canoeing through canoe country and ending on Lake Superior after hiking/portaging the Grand Portage National Mounument (trail)... After a winter off they will then sea kayak through the Great Lakes and down the East Coast ending the Oddysey in Key West
