Skagway Alaska

This morning our RV neighbour, Joan Ambrose, gave me a lovely Sea-bean book mark that she made from Sea-beans found in the Florida Keys.  You can read more about these drift seeds at www.seabean.com.

The drive from Whitehorse to Skagway is absolutely breathtaking.  You are driving along beside the peaks of mountains (along the tree and snow line) and looking at the lakes that are right beside the road.  We stopped a couple of times for Paul to take some pictures.  Then we drive down from about 3,400 ft to sea level in a very short distance.  No problem for Paul and the exhaust brake though.

Skagway is very picturesque.  We walked around and viewed the sites (and spent too much money).

Tomorrow we are taking the ferry from Skagway to Prince Rupert.  We leave at noon and arrive in P.R. on the 16th in the early morning.  Cheaper than an Alaskan cruise and better than driving the Dease Lake highway again.  I'm looking forward to seeing the sights.
