No they haven't. I'm guessing they are going to set up a kiosk somewhere to show the locations

14 days until Defeated Creek 2020!
 

Just checked the extended forecast. It doesn't go all the way to the 27th, but it looks like a break in the heat starting on the 22nd, with the highs below 85 and the lows below 60 🙂

We had a Leave a Legacy tile, so at least once per trip, we actually dropped by to visit it, but yes, the presentation of those was terrible.
 

From Christmas 2018, our small contribution to the loop 800 decorations.
It looked much better at night when it was lit and the three were moving around.

I'm sure there is an owner's group on FB somewhere. Might be best to join, or a review sight describing the problems 🙂
The owner's group will defend them and the review site will blast them, and then you at least have both sides of the story 🙂
 

I'm hoping for another Christmas present in a couple of years from the dinged box section of the employee store 🙂

Next stop was SKAGWAY. It’s really a big little town, approximately 5 blocks wide and 7 blocks long, but very busy when the cruise ships arrive. Here you can board the train and take a very scenic ride up the mountain and cross back over to Canada. We did that on our 2 previous cruises and you can see those pics in my 2012 report.
 

 
In the morning when we arrived Rick and Andy went salmon fishing, but since it was early in the season it was catch and release for the king salmon.
 
After lunch we took and very exciting and scenic helicopter tour up to one of the glaciers. We had originally booked a sea-plane excursion, but do to the 3 previous accidents DCL cancelled all of those tours.
 
Here we are after our safety video with our safety vests waiting for our ride. Grandma, Michele and Charlotte had no desire to tag along.
 

 
Here comes our ride.
 

 
Rick and Andy got to sit in the front.
 

 
The scenery was spectacular from this vantage point.
 

 

 

 

 

 
Getting close to our destination

 

 
Andy and Emily by the Alaskan Flag.
 

 
They leave one helicopter there for emergencies
 

 
The reason you see the dark streaks on a glacier. The rocks that are crushed and moved along with the ice. It’s amazing what Mother Nature does.
 

 
A close up
 

 
Since I still have some walking issues due to my back I stayed back from the group and just took pictures.
 

 

 
The blue color that reflects through.
 

 
The kids off in the distance

 
The clear ice shows the purity of the water

 
It’s really hard to see, but the water is running about 6’ below us under the ice.
 

 

 
One last shot before we head back to the ship. We were on the Glacier for over 30 minutes which for the kids made for a very interesting afternoon.
 

 
More of the wonderful scenery as we head back.
 

 

 

 

 
The harbor approaches as we arrive back at the port. We actually boarded the helicopter with-in about a block of the ship.
 

 

 
As we are about to touch down.
 

 
Up next, JUNEAU, Mendenhal Glacier and some whale watching.

This would make a GREAT Memorial Day Fiend Grand Gathering spot though. We need to crank that campout back up!!
 

I overheated the camera, but managed to get all the carts, marching bands, cast members, police cars and firetrucks.  There is even a unicycle and a potbellied pig!  Enjoy!
 
I have the fireworks for 4th of July as well and they are taken from the Poly, where I partied with the rockstars!  (old, old joke)  I am going to put them on another thread.
 

It is just that, a false front. From old sleuthing, it was discovered it is just an equipmment room back there.
Don't recall who posted the "evidence" pics, or if they are still available here with picture hosting becoming so flaky.

Oh, by the way, Sam's Club is now offering Annual Passes at a SIGNIFICANT discount.

So... we took the hike up to Burlington last weekend (or as I like to call it AlmostCanada), saw this one in person, and then about eleventy other ones we also liked (including a spiffy little Outback toy hauler that tempted us), but ultimately came back around to this one ticking pretty much all the boxes.  So we signed our names 397 times and will be going back to make the swap and bring home a new camper soon.
This is the actual unit we bought -

We finally took the cover off ours yesterday (the weather has been lousy) and now for the not-so-fun part, emptying it out.  We're both going to be a little sad to see it go - we've had nearly 10 years of awesome times in it. And we know we're making some compromises going down to a smaller unit, but we agree it's time.  Walking around ours yesterday I was already noticing the differences in a "modern" camper vs a 10 year old one - bye bye patterned upholstery and curtains, LOL!  And DH was slightly bemoaning small differences in quality between ours and the Keystone - but then I reminded him that 1) a new, comparable Open Range would probably cost us double (and they don't make our floor plan any more) and 2) Open Range was bought out by Jayco not long after we bought ours and their quality now isn't what it was.  But all in all we're really looking forward to hitting the road with the new one - and especially to towing something that's about 5-6' shorter and 2,000 lbs lighter!
And of course DH is already planning out The Bar 2.0.

I'm actually looking forward to the DHS early hours. Get to Star Wars land at rope drop, take care of those attractions, then shoot over to Toy Story land, then ToT and RnRC, then back to the Fort before Rick even thinks about waking up. 🙂

Cool! Looks like a couple of Cypress Gardens pictures thrown in there too.
