Sunset

Sometimes when I look back at my past week I can't remember when and where I did what. Everything just becomes a blur. Sure glade I take a lot of pictures so I can look back and remember what and where I've been. This last week has been great. It was the first time I've seen the sunset for almost 2 months. Being so far north and at sea level with giant mountains all around it blocks the sun from actually setting (like it does in Id and UT). However, I was able to capture some good pics.

I made it over to Haines a few days ago. Since I was 16 I've heard Haines AK, over and over in professional ski films like TGR. When I decided to work in Skagway I was excited to learn how close Haines is. I jumped onto the fast ferry with my friend and 45 minutes later I learned why it was so famous. The town and mountains were everything I had imagined big mountians tucked under a beautiful small town. Actually Haines is 4 times larger then Skagway and has been rated over and over again as one of the best small towns to live in. Once you go there you'll know why!

I attempted to hike Goat lake yesterday..... I failed for misjudging the weather. Goat lake has a pipe line that powers all of skagway and there really isn't a trail so you hike on the pipe line all the way to the top in the Sawtooth mtn valley. After hiking a ways and forgetting that it had rained the night before deemed the pipe line very slippery. Plus I took my buddies dog Annie which couldn't get around the larger cliffs so we turned around and I drove to Canada to chill at Tushi lake. I will attempt it again!
