On the Park Service Guided tour.
The cabin in the background is the first cabin built in Skagway.
A 65 year old and his son built this cabin in 1887.
They were the first residents of Skagway.
His son built that white house in 1902.

Taking another Park Service guided tour.
This was the second starting point for the Stampeders.
This abandoned town was called Dyea. It was the start of the more dangrous and more
famous "Chilkoot Trail."
Here we are viewing a remains of a 1898 store front. There is a picture of it displayed on
a post. If you note the row of tree stumps, they are on the picture as newly planted trees
about 1 foot high.

All the cruise ships are getting ready to leave, so the town is going to sleep to prepare
for the next days activities!
