Independence Day in Skagway, Alaska, II

                                   Then we met Pop Rod.  He stood there with his mountain man knives and our boys were drawn like magnets.  He seemed glad to share his knowledge and stories.  I'm always drawn to storytellers.  Everyone does it differently and every storyteller has something for us to learn.  We loved it.  So did he.

 He invited us into his antique car.  It was a gorgeous eggplant color.

 Then he had us pose by the hood.  We were having so much fun it caused a scene and strangers stopped to take pictures.

 Here's some more scenes around Skagway.

 Here's a great new way to grow carrots.

Then we spread our lunch on a picnic table - potato salad, tofu sandwiches, grape juice, chips and crackers, vegies. It was chilly, but dry. - Nanette
