On the way to Skagway for the day we stopped at Carcross for a coffee. A couple of days earlier I had Alanna in the truck and she wore the Minnie Mouse bow to town. It was left in the truck and was plunked onto my head for this lovely photo.
The day was Glorious (finally). Above is the Carcross Hotel (blue) and Matthew Watson General Store (pink). I remember eating in this hotel when I first came north and Polly the Parrot (now deceased) sat in the corner swearing at the customers. This is the hotel that is on one of the Canada stamps. It is suppose to be haunted.
The drive was great. I couldn't decide which photo to keep in this blog so I kept both. The scenery is always breathtaking (on a clear day).
We saw one big black bear, one deer and one coyote and saw each one at the last minute right at a curve in the road, making it dangerous to stop, so no animal photos this time.
Skagway was overcast but NO rain and it was quite warm. We lunched on halibut and chips, and window shopped in the afternoon. As soon as we drove back across the Yukon border, the skies opened open again and became brilliantly blue. That is when we love the Yukon.
