We Made It!

If you love trees, the road from Watson Lake to Jakes Corner, in the Yukon, is for you!  Five hours of no birds, no animals--just trees.  More shades of green than you can imagine.

We were heading to Skagway.  Tutshi Lake and Bove Island provided us with a photo op...of us!  Thanks to the couple from Atlanta.

The Last Frontier!  Alaska!  The only state that we had never visited.  We haven't kissed the ground yet--it's only a matter of time.

Almost as soon as we crossed the border, we were stunned by the beauty of Alaska's scenery.

We spent a couple of hours in Skagway.  It's just like going back to the days of the gold rush:  wooden buildings, planked sidewalks, horse-drawn buggies, and cruise ships!  Skagway has a year-round population of 900.  Today there were at least that many tourists.  The T-shirt shops and jewelers seem to be raking it in.
