Our friends decided to go from Whitehorse to Skagway and take the ferry to Haines to meet us. He describes his experience on his blog at Bob and Pam Nodine. We filmed this RV backing onto the ferry, being instructed on where to move by the men on the ground. This is what it looked like. Hair raising, to be sure. Of course, I had to add some music, since no one wants to hear me talk.
Skagway was a lot of fun. Our engineer had to check out the machines, a huge snow blower on a train. I don't even want to be around if you need a snow blower that large.
I also had to see some of the weird and wonderful. For instance, the duck neck quilt at the Skagway Museum. You did not see that wrong. It's a quilt made of duck necks. I'm still trying to figure out why you would do that. Probably the endless day or the endless night. The photo just doesn't display the amazing colors very well.
On the way back we decided to stay out on the deck in the sun. It was a little breezy, but a beautiful day and a beautiful ride. There were quit a few people sleeping on the deck chairs in the solarium behind us.
And then there was the intrepid soul that was pitching a tent in the open. The yellow line says "NO TENTS" under the cover. Imagine the wind, rain and complete lack of darkness for sleeping. That's a little rustic for us.
