HERE and THERE: First visitor from Germany, Ulli

My friend Ulli from Germany came over to visit me and explore a little bit the area here. So we spent 9 days on the road and did a trip from Whitehorse, Kluane Lake, Kathleen Lake, Haines - Alaska with the ferry over to Skagway - Alaska to Atlin and back to Whitehorse. Although the weather wasn't that great - lot of rain - we had a really good trip and survived!!!
It was pretty difficult to choose some pics to give you an impression ... well, I hope everyone will enjoy them.

Our first night in the tent at Kluane Lake ... beautiful big lake. While I put up the tent, Ulli took care about the dinner.

At the visitor center in Haines Junction we saw a DVD how to react if you are meeting a bear in the bush and how to read its behaviour ... so here you can see Ulli practising: " It's me ULLI from Germany " to impress the Yukon bears.

For sure we went on the Auriol Trail and even for me it was a wonderful hike again with an awesome landscape!

We stayed three nights at Marko's walltent which was really great. The most popular thing for " tourists" is chopping wood.

I was a little faster but Ulli was definitely better with starting the stove!!!

The million dollar falls ... we saw just water no gold or money.

Haines, Alaska. We saw some bears in the area from Chilkoot Lake. But me pics aren't great. But we had a good evening there with no rain.

Because Bella couldn't see the real bears we showed here this one in front of the Trading Post shop in Haines.

Here a view from Battery Point to Haines.

A friend of Marko, Melina let us stay in her cabin which is still in restauration. But we had a great + dry time there.

And here Melina at work ... she was such a great help ... thank you Melina!

This old train is still running from Skagway, Alaska to Carcross, Yukon ... and it is a big tourist attraction. I haven't done it yet but it must be fun! A wonderful landscape is for sure!
