Don & Joy left this morning for a
side trip to Glacier National Park. We
had traveled through there on our cruise back in ’09, so decided to stay in Skagway. Sharon woke up all congested so took a
Benadryl and went back to bed. She didn’t
wake up til 1:30 in the afternoon when Bob came to check on her!!!! Must have really needed the rest.
Oh, by the way, the cruise ships arrive
about 5:45 am and the train to White Pass leaves about 8 am. They both blast
the horns to let you know that they are arriving or leaving. And, since we are parked right by where the
cruise ships come in, we get to see all the big ships and lots of tourists with
their bags of t-shirt treasures. Some
have even taken pictures of our motorhomes??
Are we such an attraction?
Skagway is a town of about 800 in the
winter and over 800,000 in the summer. There are 3 to 4 cruise ships
per day here. There are about 30,000 visitors that come by other means than
cruise ships. When you do the math you have about 7 to 10,000 people that
arrive by ship every day. Their summer
lasts about 100 days on a good summer.
