June 30

Sunny and in the 60's today! We browsed the shops in downtown Skagway (4 new ships arrived with a new batch of tourists.) We picked up a few groceries, walked back to Daisy for lunch and then at 12:45 left on a 3-hour train trip to White Pass Summit. The gold seekers trekked this route back in 1898 searching for gold - unbelievable what they went thru and we were so in awe as we took off and kept climbing and marveling at all we saw... Our engine Sooo many boarding the train - Skagway has a population of 800+, so with all the new folks in town, this place is exploding! And now, here are just a few of the MANY photos we took today...

Pat: This is the same train that we rode. Could not remember the name and where we caught it for our ride to Skagway. Did you ride the train from Skagway and then turn around and ride back to Skagway. The scenery is spectacular and we also saw the trail the gold seekers took and of course everything else you Blogged about. It is so much fun reading the Blog about things we have done and reading your prespective.
