6-22-2011 Dawson City, Yukon

Dawson City is a fun place to go.  Really old time western town with dirt streets, etc.  First went to see the Dome, as the sun was shining and knew it would be beautiful.


 It is called the Midnight Dome because for decades people have gathered on the top of the hill to watch the midnight sun and the changing colors of the night sky.



Our friends Bonnie and Rolly.  We haven't decided yet which guy is "Lewis or Clark"....Rolly or Al? LOL


Our campground...rigs are back left of the blue roofed building.


Second day, Rolly and Bonnie took a tour of Dredge #4 while Al and I panned for gold.  No, we won't be coming back with new rigs, no luck!!


Dredge Number 4...built in 1912, largest wooden hull bucket line dredge in No. America.  These buckets and smaller ones are used for outdoor decorations in different towns, sometimes empty sometimes with flowers, etc.


Attended the early show at Diamond Tooth Gerties, a madam from times gone by.  Great show.  $10 ticket for 3 (different) shows per night.  Decided just to do the early one tonight and tomorrow night the two late ones.
