Booooaaaaaah!

There are people who don't think much of Skagway, but I liked it. The place has an old world feel about it that I relly enjoyed. I like nostalgia. Skagway is the port for the Inside Passage Ferries. There's a train there that shows how in years gone by how snow was removed from the railway lines by using a rotary snowplow attachment on the front of the train. Pretty impressive and ingenious if you ask me. We were shown along our route how the guys that built the railways had burrowed a spiral path through a rocky mountain. Truly amazing workmanship & engineering feat.

Skagway has some nice old buildings and plently of souvenir shops to wander through. I really felt like I was back in time. Aboard the "Columbia" we boarded ready for our cruise along the Inside Passage to Vancouver. We slept on the deck under powerful heaters. It was a pleasant cruise with some great scenery and nice stopovers.
