Skagway

Today I went back one more time zone than I've ever been. I didn't even know that was possible. Then Karyn & I went all the way back to the late 1800s in Skagway, legendary mudhole where Soapy Smith had his heyday until he was shot down in the street. An early entrepreneur, Soapy was a cutthroat businessman who took his work literally, and ruled Skagway's boardwalk. He delighted both the citizens & himself by parading down the streets mounted on a sin-free white steed.

Here's Skagway



That's the ocean there. Can you see the giant cruise ship fruitlessly trying to hide behind that tree?
