S.S. Klondike -- Whitehorse, Yukon

:-)

:-)

:-)

:-)




The S.S. Klondike is a place that the entire family will have fun walking through on the tour. One of the coolest parts was being able to see the size and furniture in the rooms. The first class people slept in rooms about as big as me and Anna's!!!

On the tour you get to see the places the passengers ate, slept, and had fun.

Besides that, you can see the sort of cargo the ship would have carried, and how the ship was powered.

We had fun looking at all of these things and a few more.

Families--come here and take the tour for a fun time!

(Plans) Alaskan Pipeline

Didja know my dad helped to design the oil pipeline which carries crude oil from northern alaska down to shipping in the south? So, I have two, count 'em TWO, generations of family who have involvement in Alaska!

We plan to learn more about the pipeline and take photos beside it (or under it!) There is a visitor center just outside of Fairbanks. http://fairbanks-alaska.com/trans-alaska-pipeline.htm

We can also tour Pump Station No. 9 near Delta Junction and see where the pipeline crosses the Tanana River just north of that town.

We'll let you know what we learn!

(Plans) Riverboat Discovery Cruise -- Fairbanks, AK

We are making reservations to take this riverboat cruise on the Chena river in Fairbanks. It is possible we will be tired of canned, tourist tours and will cancel our reservations. If not, we will have a guided tour Chena Village, of an athabascan fish camp, and a fly-over demo by a bush pilot in a float-plane.

Let us know if YOU think we should take this trip...or should cancel our reservations!! Info: www.riverboatdiscovery.com
