Daytrip to Skayway
Well Bob and I just got back from our trip to Skagway on a bus/train trip thru the White Pass. The train ride was beautiful and went along the same trail that the gold stampeders went on their way to Dawson in 1898. That is really spectacular country and there is no way I would have ever struck it rich, cause that trail is not for me on foot with baggage! I probably would have stayed in Skagway ,working at the Red Onion Saloon. They say that some people worked the mines and others worked the miners, that would be my job. Most of the miners that made it to the top only to find that the gold was either already staked or never found it at all. Only a small percentage ever got rich. This is a vast land of many varied sights. I don't think it's easy to live up here, so we won't try. Bob has some pictures of the day that he will down load later. In one of them he made a new best friend.
