Kathy Kunc of Port Townsend shows off the 150-year-old Camperdown Elm, which was featured Saturday as part of the Secret Garden Tour hosted by the Jefferson County Masters Gardeners Foundation. Every Camperdown in the world is part of the original. It was first grown in 1640 by the Earl of Camperdown, in Dundee, Scotland, when he noticed a branch growing on the floor of his elm forest. He grafted it to a Scotch elm tree and it took hold, producing the first Camperdown Elm. (Steve Mullensky/for Peninsula Daily News)

Bob McCall, from Great Britain, loads his kayak with supplies he will need for his 710-mile journey to Ketchikan, Alaska, during the 2022 Race 2 Alaska, which got underway at noon Thursday from Victoria Harbour. A self-described tracker junkie since the first race, McCall decided to enter the race in 2020 and ordered a kayak built in Victoria, but COVID-19 hit and canceled everything. This is the first time he was able to enter and he is looking forward to the adventure. (Steve Mullensky/for Peninsula Daily News)
