Won't you join me this summer?

On April 26th, I'll be moving away to Skagway, AK to work for the summer (or hopefully longer) and started this new blog (I have another on myspace) in which to document my adventures. To start things off, some info for the uninformed: Skagway is an old gold-mining town established during the Klondike Gold Rush and hasn't changed much since then. It's still a small, quiet, rugged town in which the economy survives almost solely on tourism. If the cruise ships were to stop coming in, the town would disappear forever. It is located at the northernmost point of the southeastern sliver of Alaska (see photo below), not far from the Canadian border, and about ninety miles or so north of Juneau.

Here's a larger view:

Now here are a few photos of the town itself just to give you an idea of what the place looks like and what I'm going to be surrounded by this summer:

That's it for now and posts may be a bit sparse here until the date of my departure gets closer, but bookmark this page and check back regularly for all the latest adventures!
