|
Haines
is on the Lynn Canal. It's a small town with a small harbor. |
Alaska
only has 11 or 12 numbered roads. Alaska 7 is 40 miles from Haines to
the BC Canadian border & 3 other segments about 40 miles each! |
This
is the Alaska ferry coming in from Juneau. We'll catch it to Skagway,
Alaska. |
|
They
pack us in! The loadmasters do a great job of guiding all the vehicles.
|
We
drove hwy 98 out of Seward, one of the few Alaska highways we hadn't
driven. Goodbye Alaska, hello BC & the Yukon again. |
At
Watson Lake we turned south on the Cassiar Highway and stopped at Jade
City. It's a very small place. Jade is mined near here and shipped around
the world. |
|
Fireweed
along the estuary boardwalk in Stewart, BC. |
It
wasn't the best weather driving back to Stewart, but we did get some
views of Bear glacier. We did see a few black bears, but no one stopped
to pose for a pic! |
Oceanview
RV park in Haines. Parking places with water, sewer & electricity.
We don't need any of that, but they had a great clubhouse with kitchen,
bathrooms & showers. Nice! |
|
A
cemetery walking trail. Never seen this before, but was tastefully done
& lots of folks buried here. |
This
Princess Tours cruise ship is docked in Skagway. It's 1 of 3 in dock.
Skagway has about 1000 year round residents. These ships could have
at least 5,000 passengers apiece. Kind of crazy in a very small town!! |
In
Stewart, BC. A very small community on the panhandle of Alaska. In fact,
there is actually a Canadian border crossing to Hyder, Alaska from here.
It goes nowhere, but to get back into Canada you have to still to ArrCan
app & have a passport??? |
