Running along the Skagway River

each car has a heater

 

 

and a restroom

 

We got picked up in Skagway, and we asked to be dropped at the Klondike Gold Rush Museum.

Which route to choose?

[shadowmeboy]

 

 

 

option one: Chilkoot trail

 

 

 

 

 

option two: White Pass trail

[shadowmeboy]

 

 

 

Once you got over the trail, you still had to get to the gold.

a boat cut out, so you could sit and watch the video and feel like you are on the boat.

 

 

Just like Seattle, a wheel of fate!

 

 

 

 

We loved the museum, but it definitely helps going to the Seattle part first.

Jenny and Jenner had to get a picture!

 

 

 

We stopped and got some fresh made fry bread. It was super good. The shop is right downtown.

 

 

We went to the restrooms, a block off main street, and this park was next to the restroom.

Jenny teaches at Aurora High School, the alternative High School, so that is why she was pointing at the sign.

We started walking back to the boat.

We caught a ride on the shuttle cart, because our feet were shot after two consecutive days of major walking.

we boarded on the deck 4 gangway instead of climbing up to deck 7. Less people this way too.

 

 

 

Chris had already turned the room down when we got in.

 

 

Pictures had to happen!
