Of course as we got higher into the mountains, we were eventually in the clouds...
Not going to see much here today!
Then two more tankers!
This is the condition of the road on either side of the road maintenance facility for miles!
South Fork River...
Walker Fork...
Motorcycle? No thanks! We actually passed quite a number of them...
There are a number of miners still mining the creeks for gold...
Yikes...can't see much up here...at times we had about 25 yards of visibility...
This is a hearty fellow...riding his bicycle...sheesh!
We stopped at a rest stop not far from Dawson City...
Poor Buster...he has never been this dirty!
The Yukon River...
Dawson City, Yukon...
Approaching the ferry "terminal"....
The ferry is just on its way to the other side...
Even though we saw all types of RV's travelling on this road we were extremely glad we didn't bring ours. I'm sure that most regretted their decision to do so unless they were in a rental. Google Maps said our trip should have taken us about 4 1/2 hours...it took us 7!
A paddle-wheeler went by...
It wasn't long before the ferry was back...
Yup...it just "docks" on the beach...I guess they can't build proper facilities because of the winter ice breakup...
Now it's our turn to board...
We're about to "dock"...
Off, we go...
The main street...First Street...
The Westmark Inn, Dawson City...
Steve took lots and lots of pictures of this quaint town...
Road maintenance...
Visitors Centre...
We are surprised by the number of vehicles from Europe...a Volvo
Whew...all this sightseeing is exhausting! Time for a beer at the Downtown Hotel...
...and then dinner at Klondike Kate's...
...and finally...a nightcap at the Keno Lounge in our hotel...
The weather forecast for tomorrow is for sunshine...much better weather for exploring the area.
