Whales-Seals & Trains



Saturday, June 28, 2008
We were out of touch for a few days, at least internet-wise, and now have to play catch-up. On Thursday we drove from Teslin, Yukon, to Skagway, Alaska - about 150 miles. On Friday we took a day-long sightseeing excursion on a catamaran boat from Skagway to Juneau. Saw numerous humpback whales, a seal rookery and quite a few different kinds of birds. A bus met the boat outside Juneau and drove us into the city where we spent a few hours eating and shopping. On the way back to the boat we had a chance to visit the Mendenhall Glacier.
This morning we took a train up to White Pass along the old gold trail of 1898. We left Skagway early afternoon and drove to Whitehorse, the capital of the Yukon where we are spending the night.
Haven't had much of a chance to write or work with the pictures the last few days, but we'll post more a.s.a.p.
