We drove past Carcross and went to Spirit Lake Wilderness Resort for lunch. There they were serving home made soup different sandwiches and pie. I chose the chicken noodle soup and it was very good. The pie is also home made. Overall I thought it was a good lunch for being where we were. One has to remember this isn’t a city but a small town of 400 people in the middle of no where. They do a decent job with what they have. <\/p>\n
We finished up lunch and headed north for a few miles to Emerald Lake. Okay Emerald Lake is suppose to be spectacular but there was one small problem. The lake was frozen over so instead of seeing a emerald coloured lake we saw white frozen snow on ice. Here I did Emerald Lake Earthcache<\/a> since we stopped.<\/p>\n Emerald Lake<\/p><\/div>\n Yours truly at Emerald lake<\/p><\/div>\n From here it was a quick stop at Is this the smallest desert in the world?<\/a> to do the Earthcache. <\/p>\n Once we were done we headed to Carcross where we had about 20 – 30 minutes to walk around. I got off the bus at a stop where there was a cache called Cariboo Lookout<\/a>. I was the first of the year to find this cache. <\/p>\n View from Caribou Lookout<\/p><\/div>\n White Pass Train Station<\/p><\/div>\n older building in Carcross<\/p><\/div>\n Tutshi Memorial cache site – it was missing..<\/p><\/div>\n Some of the buildings in Carcross<\/p><\/div>\n The Great Caribou cache site – it was also missing.<\/p><\/div>\n At the Yukon – BC Border<\/p><\/div>\n What was interesting is we arrived back in Skagway and there was almost no one on the streets. This is very different from the Skagway I have seen before. I can say this if you have a chance to do a cruise early in the season it is well worth it. <\/p>\n stop along the way back to Skagway<\/p><\/div>\n White Pass Railroad in the background<\/p><\/div>\n Red Onion Saloon in Skagway<\/p><\/div>\n Downtown Skagway – no one around<\/p><\/div>\n I waited for the bus carrying my friends and they were not able to get 1 of the 2 geocaches that were in BC so a suggestion was made to go rent a car and go get one. I know Geocachers are a weird lot but we will do what we will do to get a cache in a location we have not got one before.<\/p>\n They went and rented the car and I went for the ride. Arriving at the said location on the Alaska\/BC border we got out of the car to see that the cache was at the base of rock. Great I thought we have 4 m of snow. Upon further indication I soon realized that it was up above us on the rock cliff. Even better since the snow was what we call corn snow so there was a chance one could break through to the bottom not to be seen till one dug them out. Tony went up the hill while we stayed behind for rescue. It didn’t take long before he was up to his knees then his hips. By the time he found said cache he was very wet. The cache was full of water but we found it. We couldn’t sign the log so I took a photo.<\/p>\n TR1Hemi headed to the cache<\/p><\/div>\n TR1Hemi finding the cache – full of water<\/p><\/div>\n Arriving back in Skagway we did a few more caches in the area like “Like a Bridge Over Troubled Water<\/a>“. I had done this one back in 2008 and it is still in great shape and the same log book. I did find my name in it. <\/p>\n TR1Hemi retrieving the cache<\/p><\/div>\n Here are some photos from around Skagway.<\/p>\n Bridge to The Rush is On – GC2B0AZ<\/p><\/div>\n View from Bridge over troubled water – GCGDD7<\/p><\/div>\n<\/a><\/a><\/a><\/a><\/a><\/a><\/a><\/a><\/a><\/a><\/a><\/a><\/a><\/a><\/a><\/a><\/a><\/a>
