Today would have been the folks' 47th wedding anniversary.
We woke up docked in Skagway. We went to a meeting in the Vista Lounge (nightclub) where we met the rest of our tour group (#7A) and our tour director, Roslyn Hood. We disembarked and kicked around Skagway for a few hours, stopping for a crepe, and some salmon-tooth earrings for Jennifer.
We met our train around noon: The White Pass-Yukon Railroad, following the route of the Klondike stampeders of the late 1890s to Fraser, British Columbia.
The ride on the narrow gauge railroad was pretty cool, though mostly foggy. The geography was dramatic, and changed a lot along the ride.
We had a cursory customs inspection in Fraser, and boarded our bus with driver Parker Anderson. We drove several hours, stopping in places like Carcross, Yukon Territory.

We're staying at the Westmark, a very budget but clean motel chain. We were on our own for dinner, so my immediate family ate at a Vietnamese place. We stopped at the Canadian Superstore (or equivalent) to get some breakfast food for the next day.
