To Alaska and Back...

[Yazz]

We are headed for Durango the first of aug.. thanks for the preview....

Could have stayed a week in Durango and explored it more. Beautiful place! Hope you enjoy your stay there!

Glad you like Arches National Park--Your pictures are great.

Also glad you liked the narrow gauge RR. Had you went to Skagway (100 miles or so, south of Whitehorse) you could have rode the Yukon and White Pass RR through the mountains--same views and set up. We drove the road on the Spyders last summer from Whitehorse to Skagway--but did not take the train ride--since we did not have a whole day to do that.

We were also treated to some nice "nosebleed" views for about 25 miles as we entered the valley to Skagway.

Linda says hello also.

Thank you so much for mentioning Arches National Park! Will recommend to anyone in the area to pop into Arches and enjoy the sights!!

Met some people who were exploring Alaska for the summer. The sights they have seen! Would love to spend the time and see what all Alaska has to offer!

Talk about "nosebleed" views! The train went from six thousand feet to nine thousand in three hours. When we got to Silverton, our legs were heavy and we didn't feel like doing the tourist thing. Wouldn't want to stay that high on a Spyder doing twisties for too long. Did I tell you Cypress, TX is 140 feet above sea level?

Say Hidee Ho to Linda and give her a hug from us!
