Skagway


The ships' crews put their flag on the rock on their first arrival. Years ago it was a postal system - you would use a peg to attach a letter to that ships' flag that you wanted to receive the letter.





Red Onion Saloon - we had breakfast in a brothel!!! :-) The ladies were great - dressed in period costumes, therefore wearing more clothes than many women nowdays, and telling us the history of the building and it's most famous occupants.



This bridge is only anchored on 1 side. Skagway has earthquakes almost every day so the only way to keep the bridge secure is to anchor one side and let the other flex with the earth. DH just looooooooved that bit of info! :-)
