Happy Birthday to Alan--Call girls in Dawson City!

We spent Alan's birthday (11 July) in Dawson City, Yukon--made famous by the 1896-1898 gold rush on Bonanza Creek. We were able to visit many museums dedicated to the gold rush and the history of the territory and it's development.

We stayed at a campground across the Yukon River from Dawson City where the ferry was free.

After spending Alan's birthday celebrating with the local microbrew and then a show with the call-girls of a casino resembling a turn-of-the-century saloon, we returned to our campground on the ferry at 1:30 a.m. to a "sunset-like" scene.

What??!?!?! 1:30 a.m.??? What's this sunset??

 Be careful with the permafrost here--if you heat a building, the building settles in crooked!

The sun NEVER SETS here!!! Yikes--it is messing with our body clocks!
Still lots of wildlife--today ptarmigans and red fox!
