RE: [Paddlewise] Alaska slide show

  Don't believe any of this!  Southeast Alaska is a rainy, cloudy, rainy,
dreary, rainy, depressing area with constant cold winds, seas that never get
warm, and marauding bears that make camping a veritable nightmare.  ;-)
  Enjoy the slide show - Southeast really is an incredibly beautiful place.
