Soapy Sasquatch Slaps Skagway Silly!

Skagway Alaska hit by Bigfoot Sighting! Tourists Truncated in Terror!

Stupefied Skagway was next in line for a rare Sasquatch sighting, causing some unwelcome excitement in this small port, tourist town, cruise ship haven, and famous gateway to the frozen Yukon ice-cream regions. 

The Yukon Bigfoot slipped into the historic town unnoticed, mingling in with invading hordes of cruise ship passengers before being spotted hours later.

The local police department was quickly overwhelmed by the rare beastie invasion. "Oh sure, we've handled stray brown bears, grizzly bears, wolves, moose, deer, elk, orcas, eagles, drunk tourists, drunk prospectors, drunk sailors, drunk locals, drunks in general, and vicious gerbils. But we haven't had a nasty Bigfoot intruder since that big gold rush in the Klondike!", muttered a local constable, "We had to call in our volunteer fire and  parks & recreation departments and the local longshoreman union to finally corral that mangy animal and send him packing back to Canada." 

The Sasquatch is indeed headed back towards the Yukon. It was spotted ambling down the railroad tracks out of the valley. Shock tourists on a guided visit to the grave of Soapy Smith and other frontier rascals had an unfortunate glimpse of the beast relieving himself on Frank Reid's tombstone monument while pausing out of respect in front of Soapy Smith's gravestone. "That sort of clinches it for the esteemed Cryptozoological expert world.", exclaimed Erk Holohead, who was mysteriously in town the day of the Bigfoot invasion. "What we suspected for years is true - - Soapy Smith was a nasty Bigfoot!".

The Skagway Sasquatch's getaway via the railway track back to the Yukon. Look carefully and you'll see the ape-man's aromatic athletes-foot tracks.

Former Governor Saraaahh Payylen's childhood home is in Skagway. It is said by local wags that from the front porch, where she rode her tricycle as a little girl, one could see Russia if using really good binoculars.
