This is what I measured literally minutes before reading your post. I also used Google maps to virtually walk from the bus drop to the park. Then, your post popped up! What great timing! Thank you so much! I feel much better about leading my crew on our walking adventure in Sitka.
We are on the June 3 sailing and will, hopefully, be walking from the shuttle drop to the Totem Pole park. I used Google Earth to estimate the distance and got about 1/2 mile to the entrance of the parking lot. I will measure again to verify.
