Skagway Calling

Christopher and I were drawn to the ocean for the long weekend. Unfortunately, Chris had to be back on Sunday afternoon to leave for a week long camping trip. He was kind enough to camp with me for two nights any way. We were so late getting out of Whitehorse that we ended up pulling off the road and sleeping in the camper beside a lovely lake.

 Here's one of the reasons I had a draw to go to Skagway - wool was on sale!

 It's salmon spawning season on the west coast. Pacific salmon spawn and die, unlike Atlantic salmon. The creek running through downtown Skagway was just choked full of fish, both alive and expired. The photo is Pullen Creek.

And here is Isla checking out the fish in Pullen Creek. She was quite taken aback when the water she was drinking started to move around...
