The long and winding road

SKAGWAY, AK, Sept. 9
Views like this one of the Klondike Highway heading towards Skagway and the Pacific Coast Range mountains separating Alaska and Canada will be a vision of the past soon. This portion of the highway is one we (LH and I) drive nearly every time we do tours - - very familiar and very spectacular. It's one we'll miss as the days wind down and our 'servitude' in Skagway comes to an end.
Unless Florida has grown a mountain range with 7,000' peaks and glaciers, we will only be able to recall scenes like this from memory backed up by the photos we've taken.
Since we stayed in Skagway to watch the rain instead of camping out in Whitehorse, we've spent most of Saturday sitting in Haven Cafe (7 blocks from our cabin) with a lot of other summer time refugees working on the internet, reading, chatting and drinking coffee.
