I think this is the place Sam keeps talking about. He wants to go on a mission there... Although I could be wrong. I thought he said they went up north.
I am interested in Ketchikan but don't understand why the heck you include a photo from Vancouver's Stanly Park. That is about 800 miles away in a straight line.
Do you have photos of the Ketchikan totem poles?
