Skagway, Alaska

 

We saw many, many beautiful waterfalls on the way to Skagway, but this one had a pipeline to the right of it. There was a turbine at the end of the pipe that made electricity for the town of Skagway.

There was quite a mist coming off this waterfall. Reminded us of the "Maid of the Mist" in Niagara Falls.

A weird mountain seen on the way to Skagway.

 

Here's the crew except for Bob taking the picture in front of the famous Red Onion Saloon in Skagway.

Come visit us inside the Red Onion. Adults only!!

Bob kinda liked our barmaid. She had to hold his hand down as you can see in the picture. Naughty boy!

Joe, the great tipper that he is, felt obligated to give the tip since he bought our drinks.

Suzy and Sally sloshed down the special drink of the Red Onion, called the "Duck Fart". It looked more like duck doodoo, but tasted pretty good.

Bob was pretty proud with his new hat he bought in Skagway. It's waterproof.

All aboard the "Snow Pass".

Bob and Sally stopped for a picture with this statue in Skagway.

Here are Bob and Jack by the "snow blower" on the Snow Pass train.
 

We really enjoyed our day in Skagway. There was a cruise ship with it's many passengers who shared the town with us. It's a quaint town. We ate lunch there. Most of us had a delicious Reuben sandwich with a huge pile of French fries. Notice the glaciers in the background.
