Dawson City, Yukon Territory

July 19, 2009

Approaching Dawson City, YT Approaching the ferry to cross the Yukon River Yukon River Ferry ready to offload This is going to be slick!   Made it on to the ferry without slipping Sandwiched in on the Dawson City Ferry Chatting with a fellow biker from Alaska Taken a break while floating across the Yukon River  Floating across to Dawson City, YT Looking up the Yukon River from the ferry

That was our first Ferry ride, was a little nervous in the beginning.  Dawson City is where Jack London wrote some of his famous books like Call of the Wild.

Memories of the Klondike Gold Miners and a city that takes you back to the old west days, but with internal combustion engines, what a life.

Dawson City was just finishing up with a Music Festival.  We didn’t find anywhere to stay while walking around and after getting fuel we headed on down the highway looking for a campground.  The Milepost is our only survival guide now, relying heavily on it once again.

Back of the bike is a telltale sign of dirt roads A motorcycle approaches from the opposite direction

We found a campsite as it was getting dark and had a nice breakfast in the camp lodge.
