Alaska Hwy Day 8 With A Detour

The Monday morning (23rd May) 6 AM view…

We hung a left off the Alaska Hwy and headed to Skagway via the Klondike Highway…why not!

Yes people…ice on the river.    Here’s most of us……..  

Now it’s 11% downhill for 8 miles to Skagway.

 

Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee. Two stage Jake brake did outstanding. Carol survived.

U.S. Customs.  Those yellow poles are tight like in very tight.

Skagway - the ship tourists are all back aboard their ship and the town goes to sleep.    

Here we are at our sights at Pullen RV Park $38 Water, 30 AMP or for $5 bucks less to set in their park behind us. The one Ma Pa type service station in town has diesel for $4.92

Here’s our view. We are “Setting On The Dock Of The Bay” watching the tides roll away. Go Percy Sledge for those that don’t remember that song……

I ran out of space on today’s blog.  One of us had a blast this night.  I will publish the pictures if the ransom is not paid.

All amounts converted to US measures & dollars and are since crossing the border at Sweetgrass, MT on May 9, 2011. Yes, I will make mistakes – oh well..no need to write.
