Carcross

Last year, when walking down to the beach, there was evidence of some construction that was going to happen. This year, it is almost finished, a lovely deck with stairs down to the beach. And this year, with the water levels down, there is an actual beach.

The main street to the beach is quaint, with lots of little cabins lining the street. Here is one of my favourite.

And while we were on the deck, in came the train. Yes folks from Ontario, it was the same train that you rode, only smaller - one engine and three passenger cars.

It pulled into the station just as we were leaving. The passengers all headed right over to the ice cream cone store.

i wish i could twitch my nose and be there - i did a bit of googling on annie lake golf course and saw the box in google images of the honour drop box how cute and trusting. Gopher holes - cant wait to tell our friend a real golf pro about that. I copied your recent visitors widget and am starting to feel like a real pro. Its so beautiful up there - One day well get out of here. MJT

Hi - nice pics of trip - Did not know you were heading to Alaska - Funny story about the bus driver. I really liked the pics of Juneau - Been lots of rain but the weather is picking up - Had a huge propane facility explosion on Sunday early AM up at Wilson and Keele - You do have to wonder what a huge facility like that was doing in a residential area.
