Sky Watch

The last couple days of sunshine have brought people out of the woodwork to soak up some Vitamin D and enjoy the outdoors. To celebrate the sunshine and cool off, I treated the kids to ice cream cones. While they enjoyed their treat, we looked for Mountain Goats above Juneau and watched the clouds. Ahhh

Sky Watch

The weather lately has been spectacular, so for my birthday, my husband and I took a stroll around town before he took me to lunch at The Hangar. We stopped along Seward Street to watch the clouds wisp over Mt. Juneau and the Gross 20th Century Movie Theatre (Juneau's first real movie theatre established in 1911).

Canada Geese

Canada Geese (Branta Canadensis) fly over Eagle Beach at low tide. The Eagle Beach State Recreation Area is located approximately 28.7 miles north of downtown Juneau. The snow-covered peaks, in the background, are a few of the mountains within the Chilkat Mountain Range.

Sherwood Cabin

As you head north along Glacier Highway from downtown Juneau, past the airport area, and across Brotherhood Bridge you can see this cabin nestled in a grassy field to the left across from Sherwood Drive.


This area was once part of the Jensine Pederson Dairy, which was later purchased by Curtis Sherwood. Sherwood came to Juneau in 1940 from California. He helped incorporate Glacier Highway Electric Association (GHEA) in Auke Bay and was the president of GHEA for seven years. He was an avid birdwatcher and identified the first cowbirds in Alaska. He also studied the predacious fungi in the sphagnum fields around the Mendenhall Valley. He left Juneau in 1964, and the farm was taken over by the Dept. of Roads when the Glacier Highway was built, however, the land where this cabin sits now belongs to a private owner, so please respect the NO TRESPASSING signs.
