We went to every tourist trap town you could think of, even Nome, where the only way in in the summer time is by air. But my favorite tourist trap of all was Skagway. Do not ever make a trip up there as a vacation without fitting in Skagway!!

Be sure to take the train up White's Pass into Canada, too. Breathtaking scenery!

good morning all!!

today i think is a hike with the pups... not sure where, but they'll LOVE it! i have to hit the stores & return a few things today, like this corny hat my lil sis got me for xmas - last year she got me a gift card and it took me until October to use it! ah well... i've got just about everything i want/need from REI anyway...

I've never driven an Audi Quattro but I have heard they are awesome in the snow. Thing that keeps me from them is repair bills. I like Subarus and am looking for a 2001-ish Outback Sedan. If I get the 6-cylinder, then a donor car, I can have the only Outback Sedan with the H-6 engine and a 5-speed stick!! Then lift it with some better struts/springs... yeah baby... my old 97 Outback wagon had 10" of ground clearance.... hehehe
