Chilkoot Trail

Dinner the first night.

The trail is kind of swampy the first few miles, and buggy we soon discovered.

1st day, at the trailhead.

Ray making sloppy joes in "the ruins of some old fast food restaurant." There were lots of ruins.

Day 2. Lunch of champions before the summit: whiskey, cheese, bread, and TP.

Ray showing off his calf muscles.

Alaska.

Canada.

Yay! Summit.

Leaving happy camp on the 3rd and next to last day.

Happy Camp, the first campground after the summit.

Lake Bennett, almost to the end of the 4th and final day.

Me on top of the summit of Chilkoot Pass, on the border of the US and Canada.

Our first hot meal after hiking 33 miles, some dinty moore stew, bread, and pie. Oh yeah and black coffee, just like the gold miners drank! Mmmm.

Our train car, brought to you by the 1940's.

Tired and very, very dirty.

We referred to the after meal as "the eating contest." Ray digs in to bowl number 2. We probably would have eaten anything as long as it was hot.
