Skagway or Bust
I've had a major change in my life occur here. I've just been hired as City Manager in Skagway, Alaska. After seven years as Harbormaster in Valdez, it's time to expand my horizons. Skagway is located in northern Southeast Alaska and is a major cruise ship destination. It was the jumping off point of the Yukon gold rush and has preserved much of the history from these major events of over a century ago.
Thousand come to hike the Chilkoot Trail, visit the Klondike Gold Rush National Historic Park and ride the White Pass and Yukon Railroad to Frazer, British Columbia.

Congrats on the new job! The photos are pretty good, would be a good setting for a horror story. Insomnia comes to mind.
I thought about moving to Alaska once. At the time I didn't drive and I'm afraid of airplanes. So I was going to take the Greyhound bus.
I found out it would take 4-5 days to get up to the Alaskan/Canadian border and then the bus didn't actually go into Alaska but just Canada and I would have to take a train into Alaska.
I still want to visit Alaska though. It looks so beautiful up there.
Congratulations on the new job.
What a great opportunity! Congrats!
