    On Tuesday we went to SKAGWAY. We got off the ship and went right to the train. We had a long train ride up the mountain on the old gold mining track. It was rickety and Beautiful. So many trees and waterfalls!

    We crossed over into Canada and then came back down the same track… and I took a little snooze to get ready for the rest of the day 🙂

     

    Skagway is a little town. we got a picture at the driftwood building then found ice cream and tacos!

     

    After lunch we met up with a lot of the group to go on a “scooter tour”. SOOO MUCH FUN. Our tour guy was a  young fun guy who decided that we were all capable scooter riders so he took us all over  the back country for 4 hours! First stop was the cemetery: with fake gold to attract people, the bad guy buried and still in jail and the monument to the good guy who killed him:

    Up the Hill from the cemetery was Lower Reid Falls:

       

    Then we jumped back on the scooters and out a back road to some good lookout spots and scooted the dirt roads by the water:

     

    We stopped in the low lands by a river that was FULL of salmon:

    Dumb and Dumber:

    The low land pot holes where I almost crashed! I think a few of us had some close calls but we all made it!

    We got back around 5:30 and did some souvenir shopping and then back to the ship. That night I was exhausted. I watched a few waterfalls as we left town and went to bed early. Ben went out with the family.
