Sunny Day

WHITE PASS, JUST INSIDE THE CANADIAN BORDER, Saturday, Sept. 16
My gosh, a sunny day. Actually the third sunny day in a row. Things are winding up in Skagway so it figures that we would get some good weather. I asked a Border Guard at Canadian Customs about what it would have been like to have about three months of this weather. His answer: "We probably would have spent a lot of time peering through the smoke from forest fires. So, I guess the gloomy weather through what took the place of the summer months does have an upside.
How friendly are the folks of Skagway?? A wedding invitation posted on the door of the Post Office invited the entire town to the ceremony and reception afterward for a couple from town.
The top photo is from one of the pull-off areas just past the summit of White Pass. This is an area we've been looking at for some time as there is a trail - - vaguely recognizable in the center of the pic at the bottom of the small cliff we're looking down from.
The bottom photo is of one of the waterfalls along the trail. It winds alongside this melt-water stream all the way (we guess since we didn't go more than halfway up) to the top of a ridge from where you can see - - more mountains.
Our favorite coffee shop, Haven Cafe, is closing today so we are spending the late afternoon on our computers. There are "Sale" signs in most of the shops on Broadway, which is the main street in Skagway. Bargains galore if you need T-shirts, hats, jackets, and lots of other things which fall into the classification of souvineers asnd are mostly tacky.
