Adventure

It takes a lot of courage to release the familiar and seemingly secure, to embrace the new. But there is no real security in what is no longer meaningful. There is more security in the adventurous and exciting, for in movement there is life, and in change there is power" Alan Cohen

Dawson City - Gold Country

6/1/2018 Whitehorse Yukon to 6/3/2018 Dawson City, Yukon

After two nights in Whitehorse we headed up the Klondike Highway to Dawson City.  On the way, we passed on the "world's best cinnamon buns" having tried them before and while huge, our waistlines don't need it!  No animals today, but a good amount of rain.  There's a chain of past fires that are labeled along this road by year; 1953, 1958, 1967, etc.  It's sobering to see how long it takes for the forest to come back.

We lunched overlooking Pelly Crossing, with giant white sky mountains leading the way


Dawson City is the last stop in Canada before we take the ferry across the Yukon River and go on the Top of the World highway into Alaska.

We walked up to Jack London's cabin in town.  London lived here while writing and honing his craft.

 We enjoyed dinner with a buddy we met in Montana as our paths crossed again here in Dawson City.  I think I forgot to mention that we stopped in at Watson Lake signpost city and our sign from 2016 is still there, yeah! (we're the gold colored one in the center).


We'll be out of range the next few days, catch up with you the end of the week!
