"Got tight last night on absinthe and did knife tricks. Great success shooting the knife into the piano. The woodworms are so bad and eat hell out of all furniture that you can always claim the woodworms did it."

Useful additionLots of people find themselves in Sitka for a day, and this lets them know about a nice option.

Re: Useful additionDon't know if you are being facetious, but thanks. Arrowhead peak is really an attractive option if you want to add something on to Picnic Rock. I enjoyed S Suicide while in your backyard last month...good writeup!

Re: Useful additionNo I'm not being facetious. There must be literally half a million cruisers who have a day in Sitka every year. When I did the inside passage, I did hikes instead of the packaged shore excursions, and I wish there had been something like Summitpost to help me pick the best "quickie." BTW, a lot of us Alaskans get stuck in Sitka for a day, too, but that's a different story (flights diverted from Juneau, over and over again ...).

Re: Useful addition30 years ago when I lived in Anchorage, it seemed like my diverted flights from Juneau ended up in Seattle or Anchorage. I remember white knuckles while drifting around in snowstorms trying to approach Juneau several times!
