There's Gold in Them Hills

On Tuesday, our ship sailed into Skagway, Alaska, the gateway to the Yukon and Klondike gold territory.  In the late 19th century, prospectors were required to bring a ton of supplies into these hills before they could go looking for gold.  JT, C, and S were ready to travel.
 They were not willing to carry a ton of hardtack and jerky (not to mention eat such dreadful foods), so we opted to take the scenic railroad up the mountain pass. 
 The views were pretty spectacular, so though I didn't find gold, I'll settle for the pictures.
