HI-HO Silver, Away!!

No, this isn't a post about the 'Lone Ranger'.

  This is just one of the delapidated cabins in what

was once known as 'Silver City'. It is a deserted

ghost town along the shores of Kluane Lake. If you

drive all the way to the end of this road you will

end up at a rustic B&B that's still operating.

 I do love this photo-I think it would make a great postcard. When I get home I plan to do a 'Yukon'

wall with all the 'treasures' I've collected. This photo just might be part of it.

This is a view of the mountains from Silver City.

Not bad, eh?

My mother in-law can not pass a lake without

putting her feet in it! I think it's become a tradition

for her. Anytime she's near water the shoes and the

socks come off and in she goes.

She talked my SIL into testing the waters with her

this time. Cute picture girls!



Have you ever seen pink grass like this growing

anywhere? I would love to take the seed back home with me, but I've been informed that it would be growing in places I wouldn't want it to grow once it got going. 

And this is white fireweed, which is very hard to

find. I'm not sure if it will seed before I leave, but

if it does I'm going to get a hand full to take home

for my wildflower garden. I have already collected

many seed from along the Alaskan Hwy. We had our first frost last week so it is just a matter of

time now until the leaves begin to turn and possibly this seed!

*******************************************************

Tomorrow I'll be sharing our final trip for the

season that we took to Skagway to visit Elijah

and Laura before we head home in a few weeks.

BTW-Thank you to the sweet ladies that dropped

by just to see if I was still part of the living! As

you can see, it has inspired me to get back on the stick with my posting again.

Until next time,

Kimberly
