Most people take the White Pass & Yukon train when they visit Skagway; Maynard preferred to chase it. Then we continued up, briefly into BC, and then to the Yukon. At Whitehorse we drove west towards Alaska and ended the day in Tok. Much of the roadbed is on permafrost, so the road keeps caving in. The ride resembled a very old wooden rollercoaster in bad condition. We were surprised at how difficult it was to get a motel room -- the locals tell me simply that it's summer.
