Yesterday was a busy day. We started off with a guided walking tour of Dawson City, visiting a bank, the old Post Office (that was abandoned after a few years because it took 300 cords of wood to heat it during the winter) and an old theater. All had been restored and were in great shape. After lunch we attended a reading at Robert Service’s Cabin (he is a famous poet of the Yukon), Jack London’s cabin, the RCMP cemetery and the Midnight Dome. All that took until about 5:00 PM. We rushed back to the MH and ate some dinner. At 6:30 PM we drove about 10 miles to an open claim where we panned for gold until around 10:00PM. Everyone found a few flakes of gold and had a good time (we will try again Friday afternoon). Today we go on the Commissioners’s Tour. Friday we visit a gold dredge near where we panned yesterday and we will pan some more after the dredge tour.Right about now I would trade the sticky bun for chips and salsa at On The Border.
These pictures are great! Today after church there is a shower for Lauren Clark (Stewart's granddaughter who just had a baby). It is at Lisa's and Tom donated the flowers she will use to decorate. He got them from some nursery lady he knows. Then yesterday he healed our DVD player. I bought one from Costco the other day. I tried to hook it up to the TV but I failed. He offered $10 discount on tools to one of his customers if the guy would fix it. The guy came in and in 2 seconds had it working.
