| Reid Falls-near the Gold Rush Cemetery in Skagway |
We left Seward Monday evening and are sailing southbound towards Vancouver. It's Friday afternoon now and we are enjoying a nice afternoon in Skagway. Along the way we have visited Hubbard Glacier, Icy Strait Point, Sawyer Glacier and Juneau. We don't have a big internet package and I have not downloaded all the pictures yet, but here is a sample of what we've been up to this week.

| The Gold Rush Cemetery in Skagway is the resting place for many who went to Alaska seeing their fortune. Some died due to the harsh conditions while others got in the way of a bullet. One of the most interesting graves was marked "unknown". According to the story, the fella went into the bank in Skagway with a gun and dynamite under his coat. When he showed the teller the gun she went to the back of the bank. The gun discharged which set off the dynamite...…….they buried what they could find of the guy. He went out with a bang...……… literally! |
