Sunday - Today it was 54 degrees in our camper when I got up. About noon we decided to take the trip to Skagway since we wanted to be in White Horse tomorrow to get supplies and fix the motor home. Skagway, Alaska is about 100 miles south of White Horse, Yukon via route 2. It is the only way to get to Skagway by vehicle. Skagway is where most prospectors started their over land journey to get to Dawson City, Yukon in the gold rush of 1898 arriving in Skagway by boat. It is quite a story of determination, reckless abandonment and sacrifice to rush after that ever elusive gold. As I ponder, it is not much different today as so many give up many good things in life to chase after wealth. If only they could see and taste the riches that can be had in Christ Jesus.
After about an hour’s drive south we began again to see beauty in creation we had never seen before. And till we reached the summit we again could not understand how some can believe that this beauty could happen with a bang. You could see God’s handy work and His creativity everywhere you looked. This trip was definitely the high light of our trip so far. At the summit the wind chill factor was about 30 degrees. We met a couple on their honeymoon who was trying to get a picture of themselves at the Alaska sign. We offered to take it for them but they thought it might embarrass us because they wanted to kiss. We told them that we are on our 25th honeymoon and that is what married couples should do.
Enjoy the pictures!
