... sie zu sich nach Hause einladen und ihnen dann auch noch Frühstück machen. Respekt! Geile Scheiße.<br>Jim gab uns dann noch den Tipp, wenn wir n bisschen weit** weg fahren vom Ort kommen wir an nen See, an dem öft**s Bären Fische fangen. Also sind wir da hingefahren, Bären haben wir leid** keine gesehen, dafür unendlich viele Steinadl** und Weißkopfadl** beim Beutefang. War ziemlich aufregend und einfach toll!!<br><br>Jetzt gehts dann bald zur Fähre, bis die Tage. <br>Che**s<br>

... my knee. Not complainng - once the aspirin kicks in, I'm good to go. <br><br>For some reason I was soaked when I got back to the ship. I understand my shoes and pants but my shirt? I had a raincoat on with my hood up yet my shirt was quite wet. Oh well, no harm no foul.<br><br>There were 4 ships in Skagway today - ours (Star Princess), Island Princess, one from Holland America and the Norweigan. <br><br>I went up to the 17th floor ...

... She makes a generic announcement to the masses, "We will let you know as soon as the conductor makes an assessment - they are checking things out before we get on our way." What she doesn't announce is that we have 2 engines bringing us down the mountainside and one of them has a brake system which is not compatible with the other. One engine's brakes keep locking up! This engine is named by Hayden, "The Little Engine That ...

... we watch another bear fishing, then around another corner we slow down and drive behind a big mama ambling up the middle of the road in front of us! We drove slowly and Hayden hung out the window of Mustard-Colored Scion snapping away. The bear came to a crest on the road, the sky was pink and the sun was setting over the Chilkoot Lake surrounded by mountains and she turned to look at us a moment, then went down over an ...

... government offices and assemblies. On the east end of the island there was a stream that emptied into the ocean over a rocky bed, jammed with salmon trying to go upstream to spawn. The tide was low, the stream was low, and the salmon were fin-to-fin in suspended animation, gathering strength to make an attempt upstream. Periodically, a strong male would go for it &#8211; dashing 10 or more feet in a display of strength &#8211; then fall back into the crowd. We also drove ...

... worked the telephone, something that we could not do well until we were back in Alaska. The tricky part is that the ferry and / or airplanes tend to hub through Juneau. The ferry sacrifices at least 8 to 12 hours per leg. So, we decided to fly from Skagway to Juneau to Gustavus (Glacier Bay) on Tuesday. We would stay in the Glacier Bay Lodge at Bartlett Cove and take the 8 hour (7:30 am to 3:30 pm) boat cruise from there on ...

... Caribou Crossing). <br><br>We stopped at Emerald Lake, also called Rainbow Lake. This beautiful blue and green lake gets its color from light reflected from the white sediment lake bottom, called marl, formed from a mixture of shells and clay. Then, we pulled over at Carcross Desert. This is the smallest desert on Earth, an international biophysical program site for ecological ...

... We spent an uncomfortable night on the recliner chairs due to our budget-slashing car repairs but the ferries are actually quite impressive with free hot showers so it wasn&#8217;t too bad.<br><br>Approaching Petersburg through Wrangell Narrows, we saw Black-tailed Sitka Deer on the shoreline, more eagles and other birds and another pod of orcas. They were heading straight for the ferry and everyone was peering over the side hoping they would surface but they didn&#8217;t until we were ...

... park does not allow car washing; at least we got the mud off the car at the quarter car wash&#8212;quarter is sure a misnomer--7 quarters for 1 wash; then again for a rinse. <br><br>Drove to Oceanside RV park and loved the view and the people we talked with&#8212;Ben and Ruth. Made reservations there for the next four nights. Ate dinner at the Lighthouse; food was ok.<br>

<br><br><br><br><br> <br><br><br>It's been nice enough seeing Skagway, with its historic main district, vintage cars, and outgoing shopkeepers, but it's time now to leave the carved billikens, dancehall girls, and fudge shops to their intended devotees and light out for quieter territory. <br>We've clearly awakened our Skagway host too early for comfort this morning for our ride to the ferry terminal, as she, like every resident in town, it seems, had ...
