Day Six - Dawson City and the Start of The Dempster

Dawson City could have been a lot more fun if there were fewer people and it wasn't so hot out. But we spent a few hours walking around, shopped a farmer's market and a couple of little stores. We had some pretty good fish and chips, one of our few restaurant meals. Todd didn't get to do his sour-toe cocktail. I don't think he was overly disappointed. I didn't get to visit Dredge #4, and I was and still am disappointed over that. Not sure if there will be next time for Dawson. It's hard to believe that in its heyday, during the Klondike Gold Rush, Dawson City housed 40,000 people. There are many buildings for sale, old ones that are falling apart, and it would sure be awesome if they could be restored.

This is where you go to get your sour-toe cocktail. Yes, there is an actual mummified toe in your drink. No thanks.

The Kissing Buildings. Just better in black and white.

A short drive will take you to awesome views of the Midnight Dome.

After our tour of Dawson City, we headed back to The Dempster and began our long drive to our goal destination.

Start of the Dempster

We saw one moose at Two Moose Lake.

Our stop for the night.

A beautiful, quiet campground. That is, until some extremely rude people showed up and got obnoxiously drunk

in the middle of the night. It was our only encounter with 'bad' campers. And we didn't interact with them, just

had to listen to them going on all night.

The next photos were all taken through the windshield on my phone as we drove. Just to remind us of the fantastic scenery. We barely remembered anything from seventeen years ago.
