The first regular cruise ship of the year, the Norwegian Pearl, arrived in Skagway this morning, all the excuse I needed to head down. 🙂 The weather forecast was for a bit of everything, and that’s what happened – sun, cloud, showers, a bit of snow. These peaks are...

The best of my Skagway trips each year is the one when the smell of Spring is in the air. Today I made that trip – oh how I love the smell of a coastal forest in the Spring! After the welcome Cathy and I got two weeks ago...

I had to go to Skagway again today (and you know how much I hate that drive!), but today Cathy came with me and we got to spend some time with friends in Skagway. Well, friends of mine, as Cathy hadn’t met them before. While the weather was nothing...

I have never found a better salve for the wounds inflicted by emotional trauma than heading off into the mountains. After a difficult weekend of second-hand trauma, I was blessed today by as spectacular a day as I’ve ever seen on the South Klondike Highway. Here’s a brief look...

I drove down to Skagway on Monday, but I’m so busy that I haven’t had a chance to post the photos until now, 4 days later (and this is being posted at 02:00 am). The weather forecast wasn’t great but I needed to pick up some stuff that’s been...

I don’t really need an excuse to go to Skagway, but Cathy needed one to take a day off work to come with me. So I ordered a few things from Amazon.com and a few ABEBooks dealers, saving enough money to pay for a few such trips. The weather...

I sorta got sucked in by the weather offices yesterday, but I suppose it’s okay because I really needed to hit the road for a day. The weather forecasts for both Whitehorse and Skagway were for mostly sun, clouding up in Whitehorse in the afternoon. As it turned out,...

I try to get down to Skagway to see the last ships each year, and yesterday turned out to be an excellent one. Lousy weather (as expected), excellent day. I always wonder whether people know the kind of weather to expect when they book these very late (or very...

It’s that time of year when moose mate. Today I got incredibly lucky and witnessed part of a mating dance at Tutshi Lake. I first saw this bull on the sand bar at the south end of the lake, at the mouth of the Tutshi River. He was just...
