After working on the blog for a while, today
was our laundry day after a great lunch of Halibut & chips, and crab cake
melt sandwich.
We also went to the melodrama/play in
Skagway, “The Days of ’98 Show with Soapy Smith.” I
guess we really hadn’t explained that Skagway was one of the ports through
which many of the stampeders came trying to make their way to the gold fields in
the Klondick. Skagway was a rip roaring, wild place back
then. Today, the story of Skagway’s most
notorious outlaw and con man, Soapy Smith is a fun hour of music and song, just
Sharon’s kind of show.
Remember yesterday we mentioned that
people were taking pictures of the motorhomes?
Well today when we were downtown, they were taking picture of our car!! Who takes a picture of a Chevy Equinox? Must be the Texas license plate!!! lolol We think a ship coming up the street is a lot more interesting!
Our last day in Skagway and then off to
Destruction Bay (doesn’t that sound exciting) on Friday. We considered going to
Haines AK. Which is 15 miles by ferry and 359 miles by car. But we decided
maybe the next trip. We could take the RVs on the ferry to Haines and take a
different route to Haines Junction, but we will stay on the original course.
Our plans have us arriving into Fairbanks on Sunday evening. The next leg is
710 miles from Skagway to Fairbanks. Remember that hill we had to go down getting
into Skagway? Well we have to climb back
out of here somehow. We will let the girls drive the cars up and not tow them
behind the RVs. That way we will have documented evidence if we do not make it
back up the hill. As we roll backwards with the curtains blowing out the
windows headed over the cliff the girls will have a video of the epic. ENJOY!!!!!
Sharon & rhubarb, just because she likes it.
