4. A cool shop. The famous photgs Case and Draper made thier name working out of Skagway during the Klondike years. They toothe pictures of Soapy Smith, the famous outlaw. I dont know if they are contected to this store or not, but the museum has a very nice display of their work.

Careful, you an take the boy out of Alaska, but you cant take the Alaska out of the boy, as the saying goes...

I came up here to fish (instead of going to HS, dont know how my parents put up with me....LOL), and ended up up as soon as I got out of dental school....LOL

Interesting photos! As with the others, I'd really love to visit Alaska sometime. I've been there before, but it doesn't count. It was only a stopover flight in Anchorage.

The light is greatly dependant on hwere you live. Down here our shortest days are about 9 hours of daylight, our longest days are about 18 hours.

Long days ROCK! It is SO awsume to ge tup at 4 in the am and it is light, head out camping, hiking or fishing and have 18 hours to get whatever you are doing done. I get a TON of projects done in the summer..long days are the BEST!

I like that 1st shot with the dog. Thanks for sharing these.

The dog/motorcycle was one of my highlights as well...
