Spent the day in Skagway. It was a wonderful adventure to ride the White Pass & Yukon train with John & Amy. We saw fabulous scenery and the some of the treacherous trail that the Klondike Gold Rushers faced. In town we visited some Klondike Gold Rush National Historic Park sites where our Santa Fe friend Cathy was an archaeolgist. We ended the evening with some salubrious time in Michael’s Club listening to piano and enjoying good libations.
Over a long weekend we sampled some of the myriad things to do in Cuyahoga Valley National Park, unique among national parks for it’s environmental reclamation, historic preservation, and recreational opportunities adjacent to the populous cities of Cleveland and Akron in northeastern Ohio. Can’t wait to return and explore more.
Our journey from Portsmouth, England to our home in Ohio might have been accomplished in about sixteen hours but my avoiding air travel we were able to enjoy a fifteen day journey home via train, ship, Uber, train, as well as our own feet and finally our personal vehicle.
It’s been a fascinating two day visit to Portsmouth Historic Dockyard. We managed to pack in tours of the HMS Warrior, the HMS Victory as well ast Victory Live: The
Big Repair, and finally the Mary Rose. All were incredibly informative and well presented.
