White Pass Railroad

Our next stop was at Frazer, B.C. where we caught he White Pass Yukon Route Railroad for the return trip to Skagway. Taking photos along the way, we were transported by the majestic scenery, the stories of the intrepid stampeders of 1898, and the tenacity of those who built the railroad. One couple on our train was habitually late in returning to the bus. Not only that, she refused to relinquish he place on the platform when someone else wanted to take photos. Glenda actually asked her kindly if she would mind letting some others use the platform, which was large enough for only one person at a time. She curtly said, "No!" Back in Skagway I did penance for the horrible shot I took of the historic Skagway train station on our last trip. I made sure all of my camera settings were correct, then took several interior shots with supplemental flash. We returned to the ship just in time to change clothes and have an early dinner. I had a game pate, Caesar salad, and prime rib medallions with shrimp. Mike ordered a delicious Pinot Noir. We returned to our stateroom and got our gear ready for tomorrow, the big day of dog sledding and whale watching.Read more
