Judy, being a dog lover, asked the woman if she could pet the lab. The woman politely said, “no” since the dog was ‘working’, and that was that.

The big dog seemed oblivious to the hundreds of people that crowded around him --- except for me. He raised his big head, looked me in the eye and buried his wet nose in my crotch.

“Looks like you have an admirer,” Ox said with a grin.

I am at a total loss as to why, during my pathetic life, there have been WAY more dogs acquainted with my crotch than women --- not a statistic that I’m proud of.

At last it was our turn to board the gondola. The thing was supposed to hold sixty passengers and by the time the door closed, I knew how a sardine must feel. Thank goodness the trip to the top only lasted six minutes.

We had only gone a few hundred feet when I felt a gentle probing of my rear end. I guessed, incorrectly, that Maggie was taking the opportunity to demonstrate her attraction to her mate.

I reached around, expecting to find the hand of my sweetie, but instead grabbed hold of a wet nose. Apparently the big lab had decided to check out my backside.

The wait in line had been grueling and the ride to the top had been claustrophobic, but when we stepped out of the gondola onto the observation deck, it was quite obvious that the view was worth the hassle.

Almost directly below was the city of Juneau and we could see for miles in every direction, from the Gastineau Channel on the south to the Chilkat Mountains on the north and to Douglas Island across the Channel. Spectacular! *

We were a bit dry and exhausted from the ordeal, so our first stop was the Timberline Bar and Grill where we all enjoyed a refreshing beverage while drinking in the marvelous view.

A young lady came through the restaurant announcing that the next presentation in the theatre would be starting in a few minutes. It was an eighteen-minute film about the culture of the Tlingit Indians of Southeast Alaska. We decided to attend.

It was just after four o’clock when we exited the theatre. We still had an hour and a half to kill before we were to re-board for our next fine dining experience at the Rotterdam.

There were several trails leading from the lodge up onto the mountainside and our young charges were eager to explore a bit more of the Alaskan wilderness.

We found out from a guide that the most popular trail was the Alpine Loop Trail, which, as the name implied, made a half-mile loop up the steep mountain and back to the lodge. It was the shortest trail and would take maybe forty-five minutes depending on how much time was spent gawking.
