So, we just had a blast of a weekend. I (Adam) had four days off of work, so we decided to party. Early last week we had decided to go up to Upper Reid Falls. It was a three hour round trip hike, and we had a lot of fun just enjoying nature together. We found Icy Lake and wanted to take some pictures together. Rather than trying to convince a bear to take the pic for us, i used my handy Leatherman, stuck it in a tree, put the timer on the camera and planted it right on top of the knife. Wooh. I feel like i should have been on Man vs. Wild or something. So, the blurry picture of us in front of the Icy Lake is the product of my ingenious idea. Yeah, not that great. But its the thought that counts, right?
We were hiking up to the waterfall and heard this loud rumbling sound. We bushwhacked to the sound and found what the source of such thunder was. It was this pipe that was rifling water out of a spout. Apparently the waterworks system of Skagway was busy using the water to prevent a flood or power something. So of course, i saddled up and had a blast.
Good thing the spout didn't break... Its cool though, we would throw bark, branches, small bear cubs into the path of the water and it would just make it explode. That's how fast it was going.
Joanie is so good to entertain my whims of fancy while hiking. I found this long straight stick up there and messed around a little with it. I could totally be a ninja. Anyway, it was all fun and games until i smacked myself with it....
There is an old rail engine with old cars attached to it just stored in the middle of a bunch of trees in an old part of town. We scouted it out and Joanie was having fun acting like an old Brakeman on engine 195.
Yes yes, this is my leg. I slid into first base during our company softball practice. DUMB IDEA! After the game I ended up having to have Joanie take care of me.
We washed it with water and soap and got a little bit of the dirt out. Then we went to town with the hydrogen peroxide out on the wash pad for the buses. It was gross. There was like an inch and a half of foam from the dirt and dead skin that went down the drain...gooh.
Over the weekend Joanie and I got the local discount on the train and went up the pass to the summit on our 3 hour train ride. It was a lot of fun and it was a PERFECT day to go. We saw waterfalls, huge bridges, majestic mountains, and enormous snow drifts. This train is the main attraction for tourists in Skagway. It was cool to be able to ride on it.
On Friday, while Joanie was at work, me and my roommate Andrew decided to bike up the pass. It was brutal. I only made it ten miles on my mountain bike. Andrew had a hybrid bike, so he cruised up a little further. I was dying of the heat, so i went ahead and hopped into Bridal Veil Falls. It was SO cold. But felt really refreshing.
Yesterday we went camping with a bunch of friends up to Whitehorse which is the capital of the Yukon Territory in Canada. We did some rock climbing up there and had a lot lot lot of fun. We got to try our new tent. Here's Joanie, guarding the tent from invading bears.
I LOVE ADAMS FACE IN THIS ONE! 
Finally, while i was on tour with one of my passengers, i couldn't help but join them in this amazing picture of the reflection of Tagish Lake. SO pretty. Alright peeps, here you go. I hope you enjoy!
