Today we left Skagway. On our two free days (Thursday and Friday) we did laundry one morning and walked around Skagway trying to avoid the “boat people”. Spike was so worried about us touching the boat people or touching something the boat people touched, he gave us all pen sized sanitizer sprayers to carry around. It was a big joke (Spike was serious) about asking everyone if they had touched a boat person. When he first mentioned it in Ksan I expected to see Vietnamese boat people walking around. I finally figured out he meant the 15,000 people that get off the boats in Skagway every day.
On our trip to Whitehorse today we saw a bald eagle and a bear. We stopped at Carcross (an old railroad town) and Caribou Crossing where we met a famous female musher. She ran the Iditarod this year. She had 60 dogs there. She provides dog sled rides for a price which also is good exercise for the dogs. We also had a BBQ chicken dinner. When we arrived in Whitehorse (pop. 23,000) we took a short tour to find the markets, Walmart, Starbucks and places to eat. Tomorrow we have a busy day.
