Skagway UHAUL moving truck rented by Soapy Smith's descendants.

UHAUL moving truck
Murrieta, California








hat are the odds?






     Jami (Smith) Dotson is a great-great-grandaughter of Soapy Smith, living in California with her husband Jeff and daughter Clair. Their two other children, Brooke and Jeff, are living on their own now so Jeff and Jami decided it was time to move out of their huge home into a smaller, more manageable abode. On moving day Jeff went down to UHAUL to pick up the truck he had rented, not bothering to notice the city ad many of UHAUL's trucks sport on the sides of the trailer. It was Jami's father who noticed the city name of Skagway plastered on the vehicle (see photo).  
      How did the truck end up down here? How many of their trucks have Skagway on them? What are the odds that the family of Skagway's most famous bad man would end up with that truck? In hopes of solving a couple of these mysteries I contacted the UHAUL's main office but have yet to hear a response.I thought it was kind of interesting myself. Jami said, "Apparently one of my moving trucks wants me to head North, lol."
