Ufdah…no WiFi for three days. The wilderness and isolation up here in the Yukon is both exhilarating and frustrating but no worries other than being unable to post any of the pictures I’ve tried to capture of this incredible place and the people taking part in our Keloland/Holiday Vacations Alaska Adventure. Here are a few shots from earlier in the week.
Another sunny day as we headed to the gold mine to do some pannin’. First a little train takes us through the site.
On site is one of the few remaining big time dredges in Alaska.
After the ride, everybody is given a little bag of dirt to pan for the gold that’s inside. Linda and I scored a combined 25 dollars worth this year.
Nice nuggets Linda.
Back to Fairbanks for our Riverboat ride.
We had a surprise visit from Roslyn South Dakota native, Dave Monson who was married to five time Idtarod champion Susan Butcher who died of Lukemia in 2006.
I’m running out of battery on my laptop now so will post of few more pictures of the final leg of our land journey here in the Great White North when we get to Ketchikan.
We have completed most of the land journey now and are about to board our Holland America Cruise ship where we’ll sail into Glacier Bay and then down the Inside Passage to Vancouver..then motor coach our way to Seattle and fly home. Yes, it is going too fast..due in part to our excellent Tour Guide, Teresa, and our good humored driver, Todd but mostly thanks to a real fun bunch of travelers who have been extra special. Everybody’s having a ball.
