ARRIVAL IN ALASKA

July 2 Skagway Alaska

Guess what woke us at 6am in the morning here in Skagway .  The damn Volendam the same ship we not only took on our Alaskan cruise in 2009 but took across the Pacific to China and Japan.  We keep running into those ........dam ships that we cruise on.  It was raining this morning and we did a little food shopping and left Skagway and headed north.  The south Klondike highway is as pretty as the Haines highway.
We crossed back into Canada and were examined by a cute immigration officer.  Even Ellen thought she was pretty. We were surprised to find the same lake we kayaked on in 2009.  And the same kayak company and the same old Yukon train that we rode on.  Who would have figured that we would return to the exact place in the middle of nowhere.
We drove on to Carcross Yukon Territory where we were treated to another hungry bear.  This one just ate roots and plants as we watched from 10 feet away.  They are very accustomed to people which is extremely dangerous.  I have been reading a book on bear attacks and when they have eaten our food they must be killed.  No one feeds them but they are used to people watching which means they have lost their inborn fear of humans - not a good situation.  We have stopped for the night at Carcross Yukon campground.  12 Canadian dollars and all the wood you can burn - a great deal!
