Tuesday we drove to Dawson City (297 miles) our longest drive of the tour. We made several stops to view five fingers rapids, buy huge sticky buns, and view the Tintina Trench (a big valley caused by plate movement). Today we have a walking tour of historic Dawson City, visit Robert Services and Jack Londons cabins and then go gold panning. Last night after dinner we walked around the RV park and down to a creek behind the park. After that we stood around and talked until about 10:00. The sun was still shining at 10:30 when we went to bed.
In Dawson City we are about 150 miles south of the Artic Circle. We have talked about driving up to the Artic Circle but the road is gravel and it would take about 5 hours each way. In Fairbanks we are about the same distance from it. Maybe we will consider driving from there.
Hey Jim - that sticky bun looks good, but do they have fritos up there?
