Skagway

-14-09

On the 11th the we traveled from Watson Lake to Teslin, YT. We see bears daily, the first ones we saw everyone stopped and took pictures, now it’s getting to point of “oh yea, there is another bear“. Margaret met a” Native Peoples” woman, they talked sewing and Margaret gave her advice on ironing a patch onto a denim jacket.

We stayed at the Yukon RV Park for 2 days, which looked out over another beautiful lake.
The next day we drove to Carcross which is a little south east of Whitehorse. From there we drove into Skagway through a narrow valley surrounded by snowcapped mountains and we had many opportunities for photos.

If I haven’t mentioned it before, Pat was released from the hospital with a diagnosis of a migraine headache. Pat and Bob took their motor home to Skagway to spend the night and also fill up with fuel at about a dollar less a gallon then in Canada. Bill , Carol and Margaret and I drove down in Bill’s pickup to get the cheaper fuel and sightsee and tour the shops of Skagway. I had enough fuel in our motor home that it wouldn’t have been cost effective from us to drive the Bounder there for fuel. Besides I found gas for only $101.9 a liter, next thing you know they will be giving it away.

Every place we have stayed for the past week has advertised WI-FI, but we find if you can get it at all you have to be nearly on top of the transmitter.

I hope to attach some more pictures.
