Crystal invited me to come with her to Whitehorse, Yukon Territory to meet up with a friend of hers.\u00a0 I knew about the grand opening of the new Cultural Center in Whitehorse, so I took her up on her offer.\u00a0 I had four days to prepare for the trip with lots of deadlines to meet before leaving – it was good incentive to get the stuff done to take a much needed “working vacation” from Juneau’s consistent rainy weather of 45 degrees!<\/p>\n

I anticipated good weather as soon as we would come into Haines’ territory, about three hours north of Juneau.\u00a0 Sure enough, I could see blue skies up ahead!<\/p>\n

Like many Chilkat and Ravenstail weavers of the past 30 years, Crystal Rogers packed up her loom to weave aboard the ferry.\u00a0 Four hours to Haines is ample time to weave a couple of inches!<\/p>\n

Pouring rain in Juneau, even just an hour out of Juneau the weather improves!\u00a0 Cloudy but not raining!\u00a0 whooohooo!<\/p>\n

Crystal enjoys the cedar bark weaving talents of Heather Callahan's cape<\/p><\/div>\n

Yukon artist Heather Callahan is a regalia-maker who was on board completing her woven cedar bark cape embellished with dentallium shells, abalone buttons, leather and Hawaiian grasses woven in as well! — you just never know who will be traveling with you on board the Alaskan ferries!<\/p>\n
