Dawson City day 2

We spent the day in and around Dawson City. Went to the site of the No. 4 gold dredge and took a tour of it. The first pic is of the dredge. The 2nd is of the mess it leaves. This area is covered with these large piles of rocks. They are everywhere!!! They told us that the dredge would dig about 18 feet deep in a semi-circle then move 8 feet forward and do it all over again. So these mounds of rock are in tall semi-circles all over the place. The tour was real interresting and informative. Then it was off to tour the river boat Keno. She was the last stern wheeler to make the trip to Dawson City. She is now dry docked there and open for visitors. After that we went to the local museum. It was one of the nicer ones we have been to yet. I am sure everyone is dieing to ask "what is the price of fuel up here". Well, you really don't want to know. Well at least I don't....lol... The price has ranged from $.92 to as high as $1.35 per litter. Now I know you are all going to head for the conversion charts. I'll save you time. Multiply the price times 3.78 and you have the price per gallon. Scary huh!!!!!!! We may have to set a while when we get back state side to let the money catch up a little. The days are getting really long here, light from 4:00 am till about 1:00 am. I think we are going to leave here tomorrow heading on to Alaska.

Till next time
