In 1896, Jeff Webster sees the start of the Klondike gold rush as a golden opportunity to make a fortune in beef, and woe betide anyone standing in his way. He drives a cattle herd from Wyoming to Seattle, by ship to Skagway, and (after a delay caused by larcenous town boss Gannon) through the mountains to Dawson. There, he and his partner Ben Tatum get into the gold business themselves. Two lovely women fall for misanthropic Jeff, but he believes in every-man-for-himself, turning his back on growing lawlessness, until it finally strikes home.
OK, so we are not really cowboys, we are not coming here for a gold rush, and we are not looking for love. One of us is named Jeff, and he may be misanthropic, but we still want to host an event while we are in town. Unlike most visitors, we are not coming in on a cruise. We are flying into Whitehorse and are driving down for a day. The goal of the trip is for lobotomy to find some caches in Alaska as he tries to complete all 50 states before he turns 50.
The plan is to have a nice lunchtime meeting at Skagway Brewing Company. We plan to be here from noon until 1PM. We will be the two guys with beards drinking beer. That should help narrow us down. I guess we will also be wearing some type of Geocaching shirt as well. We hope you can join us.
