After a good
night sleep I woke up in a new world, with a better attitude. Today we went into town to shop, Walmart and
the grocery store. I realized that in
the US we are very spoiled. I make my
grocery list then go to the store and get everything on my list. Here in Canada, the shopping is not so
good. Stores don’t have much
selection. You have to take what you can
get and I leave the store with only half of what is on my list. Some stuff that they do have is so darn
expensive I don’t want to pay that much, other stuff I just rub my neck and
write the check, cuz we do have to eat.
We drove to
Mile Canyon and took a short hike along the rim of the canyon, maybe 1.5 miles
or so. It’s a very pretty area, I wish I
had more energy today to hike more but for some reason today I feel very
tired. Probably too much sleep last
night.
We bought
tickets today for a combo bus/train trip to Skagway. We hadn’t planned to go to Skagway but when
we read about this day trip it sounded nice.
A bus picks us up tomorrow morning at 8:40 right here at the RV
park. Takes us about 40 miles or so then
we get out to see Emerald Lake and board the train which takes us on into
Skagway. We have 2 hours to tour on our
own then take a bus all the way back to Whitehorse, stopping a few places along
the way (4 hours back). We return at
5:00. Because of
this excursion we paid for another night here at the RV park. Friday we head to Haines, our first Alaska
town! We only plan to stay one night
there, but hey, we’re not on vacation, we’re on retirement time so we’ll see.
I got bored being stuck in Watson Lake so made us a sign to put in the sign forest.
