Good weather, bad weather, and a little Improv

We'll get the depressing out of the way first, Skagway had some nasty weather a few days ago. The picture is my bus lined up on the dock, and you can barely see into town. Nasty. Not only does it suck to drive in weather like that, on a 140 mile Yukon tour, but it sucks for the passengers because the way up the pass is the most scenic part of the the trip. Oh well, we don't guarantee the weather. Thank goodness. It did get nicer when we got to the YT though, so that was good. We even ended up using our air conditioner.


Last night, Liarsville had a few of us out to their hippodrome for an improv comedy night. It was fun, but I was expecting to watch some improv. To my surprise, we were the scheduled entertainers for the evening. Everyone participated. It was a great time. My favorite part by far us three of us drivers trying to perform the liarsville poetry show. I was the narrator, and Ty and Justin the background actors. Beeing narrator usually meant standing in front awkwardly. The whole night was pretty hilarious, and it was good to see all the liarsville people when they weren't trying to do a show.

Today though. Oh today! No more bad weather. The valley is beautiful, the day is wonderful. Melissa, Brooke and I went on a hike up to upper Reid falls. Beautiful water fall, and a great day to be up in the woods. The hike was either 3.5 or 7 miles, we're not sure if the posted miles were round trip. It didn't feel like we walked 7, but it could have been.

Oh man, finally it happened. Riley, one of the newer drivers finished his tour, had time to evac his bus(empty the toilet), fill it with gas, and park. Later on after he had gone to the driver room to do some paper work, he walked out to find some confused woman walking around the bus yard and our house. Oh man. I guess she had fallen asleep hard on the last part of his tour and slept right through the dropoff, and everything else. Now, that's funny by itself, but lets be honest, most people go on our tours with friends or family. What sick family members thought that would be a funny joke not to wake her? Haha. Oh man, what a life!
