We are in Dawson City for a few days. We went to a show in town last night, a can-can type entertainment at the local casino. This is a non-profit casino and all the profits are returned to the city to help the local citizens. It was really fun.
Today is Canada Day and we went into town to see the celebration. It was pouring rain but the celebration went on. There was a gold panning championship. Each contestant is given a bucket of dirt and rocks. A certain amount of gold is placed in each bucket, then they are timed as to how quickly they find the gold. The contestants do not know how many pieces of gold are in the dirt. When they are finished they raise their pan. The winner is a combination of time and amount of gold found.
We were planning to travel to Tok, Alaska tomorrow but the weather does not look good, so we will probably stay here another day. The forecast looks great for Thursday. You can see the ferry above that we will be taking across the Yukon before the "top of the world" highway.

Love the pictures but is that ferry safe, It doesn't look big enough for your rig. Talked to the Talberts tonight, Wow! what a time they have had. Be careful going down! Rain there and it is so hot here. Love and miss youuuu! Cordi
Looks like we made the wrong decision. Dawson City looks like lots of fun. I agree with Cordi. Is that ferry big enough? Drive safe on the down.
Love, Rox
