We have spent 72 nights in Alaska! We got ready to leave and drove to town for gas. There were another three cruise ships there today. We stopped at a pull out to read the signs about the White Pass & Yukon Railroad and along came a train on the tracks across the gorge from us. We took a trip on the WP&YR narrow gauge train last time we were in Skagway. We crossed the William Moore Suspension bridge, went through the White Pass and left Alaska at 11:37 a.m. After going through Canadian customs, we drove along Tagish Lake and Windy Arm. This was a beautiful drive. The sun came out and stayed out all day. We made a stop at the town of Carcross, Yukon and it was as crowded as Skagway. There were 8 princess cruise line buses in town. We did not go back through Whitehorse but cut across to Tagish via the Tagish Road and then took the Atlin Road down to Atlin. This is a scenic little town at the end of a 58 mile dead end paved and dirt road. At the end is a very nice lake. We got a camp site at the city campground just outside of town. The payment for your site is on the honor system, and you can pay at any business in town. We drove into town and took pictures of the historic old buildings and a ship which has been in dry dock since 1937. Then went to the Atlin Inn which is being restored and had a beer.
