Camping on the Ferry to Alaska | Lost & Found EP. 01
Рет қаралды 98,394
Күн бұрынOur journey starts in the Pacific Northwest as we prepare to head up to Alaska on the Alaskan Marine Highway. Our passage on the Alaska Marine Highway left from the port in Bellingham Washington and would soon carry us nearly a 1000 miles north, to Juneau Alaska. The boat navigates an intricate path through the inside passage which is a narrow network of corridors through the islands on the Pacific Northwest coast of the North American Fjordlands.

First off, the animated intro was absolutely gorgeous!! Secondly...I started my Alaska Journey in March of 1992...riding the Matanuska Ferry from Bellingham, WA to Haines, AK. I then drove the remainder of the way to Fort Wainwright just outside of Fairbanks in my 1987 Toyota SR-5 pickup! Wow, I started reliving a lot of fond memories that awoke watching your awesome video! Unlike you guys, I am still loving and enjoying every moment here in Alaska...in March 2022, it will officially be 30 years! Thank you very much for the awesome work you do to share your adventures.

In the almost 20 years in Alaska, I only road the ferries in-state for work. My job never sprung for a cabin. The last time I left Alaska to relocate to the Lower 48, I rented a cabin. It was awesome! The cabin was well worth the cost. Plus, the food on the AMHS (Alaska Marine Highway System) is outstanding.

Saw your channel just now, hit subscribe and the like button before the video had even started. Also, watched all the way through your opening credits, which I rarely do with other channels, most impressive animation. I used to take the ferry down to the lower 48 when I worked up in Alaska back in the 1980's. Each trip was uniquely special. I would meet the most interesting folk on the boat. It was always a great party heading south in the late summer/early fall. Rarely have I seen video or photos do justice of the inland passageway. But you guys nailed it. It brought back great memories. Thank you. I look forward to more content.

The old Matanuska! Hopefully you know the history of that grand old vessel. For years, these vessels operated out of pier 48 in Seattle. The Matanuska, the Malaspina, the Columbia! - It wouldn't be right if at least one wasn't still running. I remember when the Malaspina and the Matanuska had major overhauls and were lengthened by 50- 60 feet. One of our oldest Alaska Marine Highway vessels is still plying the seas. The "Tusty" - MV Tustumena - is our oldest Open-ocean rated ferry, and still primarily provides service between Homer and Kodiak Alaska - with stops in between. It has made seasonal runs down the Aleutian Chain, and occasionally fills in where a vessel of its class is sometimes needed; primarily when other vessels require maintenance. The MV kennicott is our newest open-ocean rated vessel. The Tustumena is now scheduled to be replaced, and I wonder how much longer the Matanuska will continue to serve us. I'm glad you had a chance to experience an important part of Alaska's post 64 quake history!

Loved this! We lived inSitka for many years and the Alaska Marine highway was the ONLY way to travel. Our kids traveled often for school events, my husband traveled for work and we went to Juneau twice a year to shop. Back in the day we got boats at least twice a week, now it is not even monthly. Sad for a landlocked town. Your films are spectacular.

I am sorry to say I missed the premiere by a day, but I must join with the other comments that give this a WOW! without reservation. I follow 300 or so content creators, and probably watch 2 or 3 hours of YT content daily. This episode set a new standard for what is quality. Your content is always superb. However, the opening music segment, and especially the maps of Alaska, suggested this was going to be extra special. But then that opening animation sequence. Followed by the pacing, coloring, composition, narration. The list goes on. And the added treat of the closing animated constellations. You spoil us. Thank you so. I and many others need something so special in these times. Christmas came early this year.
