Dawson City is very close to the Artic Circle... like as close as Springfield is to St. Louis...okay, maybe a little further, but we are very far north. In fact, I saw Santqa again yesterday. Yes, the same Santa that was on the cruise ship, which makes sense, that Santa would take a vacation before things get really busy.
Dawson City is where the Stampeders headed in 1998. It is still beyond comprehension what those men and women did because of the possibility of gold. Because of the difficulty and length of the trip, those that came in 1898 were not the ones to find the gold...all of the claims had already been staked. Yestderday we were out to the Discovery Claim on the Bonanza Creek. Soon, we will get on the boat to go down the river to Eagle. Look for the picture soon of Dad singing with Diamond Tooth Gertie.

Whale Watching
If it is 8:30 on ship, what time is it in Springfield? 11:30. We just ran into Jerry Snavely and his wife Margaret Underwood's pastor and his wife. We had breakfast with a couple from Spokane, WA. And now we are watching for whales.
