August 8,2019 Whitehorse

Yesterday we took the ferry from Haines AK to Skagway AK hoping to stay overnight. Unfortunately neither of the two RV parks could accommodate our rig so we had to move onto Whitehorse. So we have decided that our next Alaskan adventure will be a cruise so we can visit all the places we missed this time. The ferry trip took about an hour, but it took about an hour to load and about 30 minutes to unload. B&B had to stay in the RV during the crossing they did fine even though it was one of our hottest days up here. The road from Skagway to Whitehorse had some of the most magnificent scenery so far on our trip and that is saying something. My pictures do not do it justice. I was playing around with my camera and forgot to re-set the settings so some of the following pictures look a little like paint by number, but I assure you they are the real thing. We leave on Saturday to head home via the Steward/Cassier highway. Not sure when I will be able to blog again as we haven’t been on this highway before my guess however is there will be very little if any cell service until we reach around Banff or Jasper. As much as I have complained about the cold up here I don’t think I am ready for the heat I am hearing about in the lower 48!

The above and the next few are on the transit.

This train goes up to a place called Carcross in the Yukon. It is a narrow gauge and goes through beautiful country.
