Dawson Street @ 9:30PM

This is the street outside the hotel at 9:30PM at night without a flash. It is now 10PM and I can still see the hill outside in the distance.

Cold Cuts and Salad Overlooking the Yukon River

Star Date 08272008

It is hard to fathom how much empty space there is in the Yukon. Dawson City is about 340 miles from Whitehorse. And is an 8 hour trip. We have seen an eagle, and lots of river, scrub trees and clouds.

Last night was The Frantic Follies, with 2 dramatizations of Robert W. Service poems. Riding on a bus for eight hours makes the driver and guide think they have to keep us entertained. Okay.
