I took a vacation from my vacation and flew to Juneau, the capital of Alaska (a fact that causes some contention in the state due to it's size, liberal nature, and the fact that it is unreachable by car). It primarily is known as the seat of government and as a bustling port for cruise ships. Founded as a gold mining town in the early days of the Alaskan gold rush, it is located in the center of a vast coastal rain forest, easily explorable by the vast system of trails throughout the town, of which there are far more than roads.
