The Great Alaskan Lumberjack Show



If you ever make it to Ketchican, don't miss The Great Alaskan Lumberjack Show.

It is unabashedly campy tourist fare, and a barrel of fun. 
Probably my favorite part of the entire trip.

While it was a cute little scripted show, these boys had SKILLS!!!! 
They chopped their way through these logs in about thirty seconds.
Can you spot the ax? 
It is in the air, in front of the advertisement over the head of the guy in the silver hardhat.
On it's way to the center of the bulls eye of the target that matches the one under the Canadian flag.
This slice of wood fell in about six strokes.

They did the climbing thing...
and the running thing...
The rolling thing...
and the falling in the water thing.
