We left Skagway and what we thought would be a beautiful drive and a lot of photo-ops turned out to be foggy drive and no pics
For lunch we stopped at Michelle Phillips Last years Iditirod winner We had a nice chicken lunch After we ate we visited the kennel and all the dogs some of our group took a ride on a wagon pulled by a team of ten dogs
Then it was back on the road to Whitehorse where we stayed three nights We saw a fish ladder they are made so the Salmon can get by a dam We saw the Yukon River where all headed north would travel on boats we toured a stern wheeler paddle boat that once was used for travel from Whitehorse to the gold fields in Dawson City We had a steak dinner and watched a slid show put on by Michelle Phillips and we went to the Frantic Follies Vaudeville Show
We moved on to Dawson City where we are now Dawson has a lot of mining history as this is where gold was first discovered and started the rush to the Yukon for gold We went to the location where the first gold was found and we did some panning for gold between Nyla and I we have about 12 to 15 flakes I think we would starve to death if we had to rely on gold panning for a living
It rained here yesterday and our road to Chicken Alaska was washed out so we are waiting to hear if we will be moving on tomorrow
Our trip out of here ought to be fun as we have to travel on a Ferry to cross the river to continue on to Chicken
