Fraser Lk. July 21st.

 Smithers is one of our favorite towns, great mountain views, nicely laid out, clean and a great municipal RV park. with full hookups. We stayed for two nights, got caught up on laundry, shopping (food) and reading our books. 

Next stop was Fraser Lk. another municipal campground, this one by donation, which we did. It is on White Swan Lk., no services, but nice location. I think there was maybe 10 campsites, about half were used by evening. A few bike tent campers were staying on the grass by the lake. One couple were planning on carrying on to Argentina, good luck. These sites were pull throughs, no privacy, but for one night no big deal. There was lots of grass between the sites.

We are now at Ten Mile Lake PP. just north of Quesnel, another nice PP. Being the weekend, a few locals ready to party, but they were all quite by 11:00 pm, we got a good nights sleep. The cell service here is very iffy, so no pictures. I may try to put some in later, would mostly be of the campsites.

Not sure were we will be next, somewhere closer to home.

 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...
