5 18 SKAGWAY

Skagway is where the 98er's started out to the Yukon to find gold. There were 5 ships in port that day, so the town was overrun with people. It looks a bit like Telluride. We did not spend much time in town, too many folks.
This is an interesting building with the front all of driftwood. The building was built by the Arctic Brotherhood. Interesting, isn't it.

We was a movie at the forest service store.
We took the train ride up the White Pass, where most of the miners passed to go north.


beautiful views on the train.









Luckily this tressel is no longer used. Arleen almost cancelled the trip when she saw this tressel.


Another bridal view falls.

The pix of Glacier Bay and Alaska are truly awesome.

Happy Anniversary tomorrow!

BTW, when we were in Peru, they didn't mind that we called ourselves Americans, but we couldn't say we were from America - had to be the US. I do notice that other countries ask if we're from "The States" and I always say I'm from "America".

Love, Debbie and Dan
