Whitehorse June 21st 23rd.

 As you may recall, we got parked next to smokers in the RV park last year and cut our visit here short. We tried a different one this year, although tight, no smokers near us. It was quiet at night.

A bit of restocking, not much as we are heading for Alaska and have to be careful of what we take across the boarder. I went to the Transportation museum  and Pat went for a pedicure. The museum was good and Pat said that the pedicure was a good one.


 We drove up the Long Lk. just to the north of town, very nice spot. Then checked out the burbs west of town. There is a little view point overlooking the Yukon River.


Next was Miles Canyon.



There was a Quilt shop on the main drag, so Pat had to check it out. One of the best she has ever been in, thought I was going to get heat stroke sitting in the truck, waiting for her. lol.

We are very happy we got to check out Whitehorse, a very nice town. Small city. It is very busy, lots of tourists. At least two or three 737's fly in every day. 

Off to Alaska

 Well we made it, 47 thousand steps, well, maybe a bit of an exaggeration but there are alot. A nice walk from the campsite, got a few caches on the way. Our loop, first come first served, is quite empty. I think the reserved aera has more campers. Here are a few photos from our walk. We wern't sure if these guys would let us pass but they just moved along wiithout any fuss. Till next time.

Skagway

One of the main attractions in Skagway is the White Pass Railway. As it goes almost the same route to and from Whitehorse as driving, we decided not to bother with the train.  We drove back up the hill to take a few pictures. In the photo below, you can see the rail line just above the guard rail on the right, it goes up the valley, and back out on the mountain side on the left. The highway stays on this side of the main valley. There was supposed to be a geocache at this waterfall. We didn't find it, or the three other ones we looked for in Skagway. Looking down the valley towards Skagway. On the Thursday before we got there, a rock slide came down and hit the gangways and a cruise ship. There wasn't much damage but they had to call in the inspectors before they could move the ship. It came down right where the ship to the left is sitting. On the way to Dyea, now a ghost town, returning to nature. Skagway is the perfect tourist town, beautiful scenery, with the town very close...
