Roger wanted to make sure that I would never forget him. It was odd behavior even for Roger but I guess his birthday is coming up.

Poor Tim is a sucker for pretty women apparently.

Our most interesting stop on the cruise was Skagway. It was the town that gold rush prospectors came to but it was only the gateway to the Klondike region of Canada's Yukon. In 1898 Skagway was the largest city in Alaska with a population of about 30,000, today about 1,000 people live their and one odd tidbit is the town doesn't have any doctors and it is illegal to give birth in the city. Our tour took us to the Canadian side of the Yukon which was very picturesque with large granite mountains with some great fall colors and high elevation snow already. We stopped at several lakes and even got to see some young mountain goats fairly close.
