A day in Dawson City


We made it to Dawson City today after spending the night at Walmart in Whitehorse. We traveled Hwy 2 (The Klondike Hwy) from Whitehorse to Dawson City. Ran into some road construction and got the rig pretty dirty. Saw a black bear and her cub and that was all the excitement for the day. We walked around Dawson City - I was kind of disappointed. I thought it would be more touristry than it was - not much happening up north in the Yukon. We might go to the casino a little later. Gary has given me a $20 spending limit!

Tomorrow we will travel the Top of the World Hwy into Alaska - YEA. The last 40 miles into Chicken Alaska is nothing but gravel so the rig will take another beating for sure. From Dawson City we cross the Yukon River by car ferry (the only way across) then the fun begins. We have to get across the border first, though.

We are having fun - getting a little road weary after traveling over 3000 miles, but still having fun. We haven't killed each other yet, but of course this is still only week 1. I have downloaded some more photos so enjoy!

Wish my parents a Happy 48 years tomorrow (June 25)!!!
