Camping @ Dyea

Moon coming up over the mountain peaks. This is about 1 a.m. an hour later the sun began to rise in to the North, we then realized we should probably get some sleep since we all had to work the next morning.

Does anyone recognize this Couch?

So, when I first walked around the house I would be living in this summer I found this couch. No joke, I think this came straight from Vale out of the old place on the farm. It made me feel at home and brought back a flood of great memories of G&G Jacobs' farm.

Trip to Whitehorse

Coming back from Whitehorse we saw 3 bears.This bear almost got his nose in the car.As I was trying to get a close up the other guys in the car were screaming for me to roll the window up. Haha! What a great shot it would've been if they hadn't scared it away.


This one got a little defensive as I got out of the car and proceeded to get a closer picture. Oooh, scary!






Lucky, we made it back apparently we have to watch for rock slides as well as avalanches.

Bear Hunting

The Climb up AB

This is what we hiked up, through snow up to our hips at times. We stayed right and climbed the ridge line.








Need ropes to get up this mountain.











AB Mountain Hike "Welcome to the Artic Brotherhood!"















This is after we made it through the snow.











At the same altitude as many other peaks around Skagway.

1st Black Bear of the Season











Luckily, I was dead heading (driving without passengers) back to Skagway and got a couple of pictures of this black bear that just 20 minutes before crossed the highway and walked up the side of White Pass Summit, giving all my passengers a great show. Funny, how much a bear can help raise your tips.
