headed for Skagway and closer to the fishing each day

Rhubarb left to go to seed can make some wonderful tasting squares- add ice cream and what a treat it was. This was a great treat. The rhubarb here is also used as lawn plants as the lower 48 have shrubs.

Bove Island in the middle of this lake- what a beautiful setting
this lake was so clear it provided a nice mirror image- so can you tell if it is right side up or not?
a big brown bear alongside of the road
the lower part of the mine over the road - this is in an avalanche area

a different kind of camping. I think this is called "roughing it"
One way to cross the mountains- Somewhat harder than we were doing in the coach.
The Whitepass train across the valley.

This young black bear crossed in front of the coach and did not slow down for a proper photo of itself. It got across the road and into the bushes quickly.
This big black bear was eating alongside the road. Nothing seemed to bother it, least of all us taking photos.
Toni and Remi welcome you to Alaska.
Bil and Barb welcome you to Alaska as well.
Melting snow is leaving waterfalls like this all over the hillsides.

The wild Irises are every where and so beautiful. There are wild flowers everywhere.

We ran across this carved wooden building on a drive. Look close at it and you can see angels and other things carved into it.
