How I ended up in a Alaskan Gold Rush BROTHEL from 1896..🇺🇸 |S6 - E135|

I did not see this coming when I rode into Skagway, Alaska! What a quirky little town, with lots of gold rush history. Turns out, no visit to Skagway is complete without visiting the famous Red Onion Saloon...

What a contrast between the floating cities / cruise ships crammed with thousands of tourists and a lone, world-travelling-motorcyclist showing us the world that such tours will never see... Thanks for this great peak into Skagway.

[@DonPedro6901]

Great comment!

[@noydb2148]

You can actually take that ferry all the way down to Bellingham Washington. I highly recommend it. You don't even need a car It's kind of like you're camping on the ferry next to these huge cruise ships. But it stops in all the small fishing towns where the cruise ships do.

[@redriverraider]

Much Iike Noraly's tour. Skagway can be unbelievably busy during the cruise season. Thanks for the video!

[@JeepCherokeeful]

Even better, living in Alaska!

[@tycho2009]

I am SO dreading the time when this season will come to an end... It has been an absolute delight to witness your adventures for so many weeks and each season is getting better and better - lovin' it!

[@maryfields1111]

I agree!!

[@retardtiger]

Me too, I think I’ll go back to season 1 😂

[@krishnaprasadshetty1207]

Very true

[@mikebailey7071]

Well she didn't go from Skagway to Whittier, she only went to Haines so I am guessing there is a lot of riding left to do

[@nickyvalencia727]

I don’t know which adventures this season have been more incredible, if the South American, Panama crossing or the US, Canada . Nobody in the world have documented those travels like “itchy boots. Planet earth at its best . Bravo Noraly 👏🏻. We, your followers will always remember this .

[@SteveBlau]

I really liked the South Africa season and the second season in South America. I probably will never go to those areas. It was fascinating to see and learn about.

[@robertscranton7736]

I agree with every word of your comment.

[@sonnytpangestu]

indeed

[@grabak6668]

For me it's an easy decision - all adventures, all episodes, all seasons are most incredible :)

[@endangeredmarmot4518]

Madam Trixy sure is a great presenter! You sure have had some great luck with the storytellers and oral historians this trip. Another great episode, Noraly!

[@edithchapman6651]

Even on a dull grey rainy windy day you give us a great history lesson that I had no idea of. Kudos to the Madam of the brothel....she represented well.

[@robertscranton7736]

"First the brothel, of course"😲 That gave me a giggle. Noraly, you never cease to give me joy with each episode. Thank you, once again, for allowing this old guy to ride along.👍👍👴

[@danielmcneil3004]

I also find myself regretting that Noraly’s amazing journey is coming to an end. It has been such a wonderful time sharing her South to North adventure and enjoying so much that I hoped it would never end. Of I appreciate how much work and energy is required to produce these videos and I would say she has certainly earned a vacation and time away from KZbin. Noraly is an amazing person and an inspiration. Whatever the next adventure is, I will be here to support. Cheers to Noraly and safe riding. Dan ✌️🏍🇨🇦

[@johnpayne8223]

Welcome to Alaska! A state so big you have to enter it at least THREE times! Go Girl.

[@danomies]

I love the little things that Noraly does in her videos to show her dedication to her viewers…like the visor flip she did at the end of the video (while riding in rain) so she could make eye contact with the camera. Golden ✨

[@MotoM0nk]

Love your videos, mostly because of how a wonderful person you are. When in difficult situations I ask myself what would Noraly do? You have inspired me to travel on motorcycle and get through tough times. Bow down to all that you are..... lots love, Sofia

[@TheBestFoodieShow]

Love the classic Itchy Boots spontaneity of this video. Just a slow ride, quick U-turns and speaking with and paying absolute respect to the local people. Admiring the local sites. If all had the temperament, patience and empathy of our Noraly, how much better the world would be. Great content!

[@jyewhin]

A world full of Noraly's would be a nice place to live, indeed.

[@leonceboudreauxwolf]

Noraly is an amazing young woman. endurance, patience, respect and love she's shown is really different and refreshing compared to what's normally presented. Respect Noraly 👍🏽

[@richardvervoorn6626]

Hey Noraly, when excessive travel isn’t in the cards for you, they’re is always the opportunity to make an interesting video of a slightly different nature and again you’ve given us a history lesson with a little laughter and enjoyment. I find myself purposely waiting with my iPad to see what you’re up to this time. As usual your sunny disposition and research never fail to drop us into a different time and place. Thank you Noraly, you’re the BEST !❤❤❤ Rick

[@ericchazankin4919]

If this isn't one of the best shows, I don't know what! So many thanks for all the efforts behind the scenes to put this together! I felt like I was there in Skagway! Fair winds!

[@oldtechguy]

Do not want these videos to end. SO Great.

[@ScooterintheSticks]

Another lesson in the history of my country. The ride to Alaska has revealed the gaps in my knowledge! And what a rough life people had at the turn of the 20th century. I'll keep it in mind the next time I feel like complaining about something. Thank you for helping me be a grownup! I'm looking forward to your further adventures northward.

As soon as I get the notifications of itchy boots, I click 😀😀.. Here we go another adventure...

[@WillysPerformanceCycleCtr]

Definitely a great tour of the brothel, Red Onion Saloon! It’s amazing that the tourist traffic supports the gold rush towns like Skagway. A wonderful story and now, Klondike is a beer! Lol…. Another great ferry crossing and thanks for sharing another day in your adventures! Ride safe Noraly!

[@riendetout8812]

I don't know why but it made me laugh so hard after Noraly pointed out the ships and said "Madness." I was on one of those boats a few weeks ago and we couldn't go to Skagway because landslides closed down the cruise ship port. I'm so glad I got to see it all in this video!

Some of my first books as a kid were Jack London's adventure stories set in the Gold Rush era of the far North, particularly the dog stories Call of the Wild and White Fang. So nice to be reminded of reading those in my lazy days of summer in Texas, Thanks for reminding me, hadn't thought of that in years. Happy trails!

I agree with Tycho that when this season is over we will not have the pleasure of traveling along with you until the next adventure. I hope you know how heathy these episodes are; to see so many unique points of view and lifestyles at a time when it's hard to glimpse the beauty of life through the fog of chaos that we're now experiencing. Big Hug for you, Noraly.

[@kimnewton9299]

I first heard of Skagway in the 1954 movie THE FAR COUNTRY starring James Stewart, Ruth Roman, Corinne Calvet and Walter Brennan. In the movie it was also labeled as the GATEWAY TO THE YUKON. Loved the history you have shown once again

Alaska is now in Alaska and the adventures continue. Can’t wait to see what treats await us,your followers. Ride safely Noraly.👍👍🇨🇦

[@keithhinke3277]

Skagway is a very windy [and cold] town, with not much to do there if you're not a tourist or a drinker. You should stay at the Hallsingland Hotel in Haines [Port Chillkoot actually]. The owners used to be good friends of mine and I even worked there as a bus boy years ago. I had a guy try to give me a dime after hauling 2 heavy bags to the third floor. I was expecting at least a quarter for each bag. So I refused it and told him he obviously needed it more than I did. I was just working for room and board from the Hotel. The only cash I got was from tips.

[@tjs201971]

Hey Noraly! Every journey has been so much fun and enjoyable! Your narrative throughout your journey always make it so exciting and at the edge of my seat!! Thank you and welcome to USA again!!

[@SirGolfalot-]

Noraly you know how to keep your subscribers entertained. A gold rush town Skagway, and it's history really hit the spot. I've watched few older Hollywood movies made about the Yukon and Alaska gold rush but this video was about the real history of Skagway. Good video!

Oh WOW!! How enjoyable was this episode, always interesting to see such great places… and our excellent host Noraly 👍🏻👍🏻

[@auralsonicwaves7170]

I was on one of those cruise ships many years ago and Skagway was a port of call. We had quite a lot of time to spend in the area so rented a car and drove into the Yukon up as far as Carcross. Your video brought back lots of memories of that trip. Thank you.

[@MikeJohnson-ld9rn]

Funny, I stood right where you did in front of that older train in 2007, after having de boarded from one of those cruise ships. One of those old engines with the huge propeller like attachment in the front was used to clear the tracks of snow.

1992 I sailed a 30 ft boat from Valdez to Skagway where I was broke down for two weeks, on our way to Seattle. Even back then it was a tourist town but there was room for only a couple cruise ships at a time. After the gold rush Skagway became almost a ghost town until they began to develop the tourist industry. This video brings back a lot of memories. As usual the weather there is always fair to partly crappy.

[@davidoconnell2915]

Never commented before but can't resist it : All the superlatives that have been given to Noraly are totally, utterly well deserved - filming, content music all terrific. I haven't notice any other comments on her diction - as a half deaf old Brit bloke, who normally uses subtitles, I don't need them when watching her channel - as she would say, "stunning yeah". She's tempting to get on my ridiculously underused CBF 500. Can't wait for the next series.

[@ronald8673]

Excellent narration. Interesting to me to see the towns my father was in during the first half of WWII when the US Army Engineers were tasked with building the Alaskan Highway. Thanks
