Stopping for breakfast in Dawson and all of the parking on the street was taken except for these two spots. hmm…
Not sure if they are still in business, but that is a pretty modern casket so they probably are.
Looks like things are pretty dead around here.
They still use a ferry to cross the Yukon at this point.
This is no small river and the current is fast too.
I didn’t do any of that
This same boat has been running here for 40 years or so. If it breaks, there is now way to cross until it is fixed. No backup boat.
Looking back at the ferry over my shoulder. Sherm say’s he is glad I’m picking on someone else this time. :)
If I understood the gal correctly, that ramp is the only thing holding this thing to shore while we unload. They do keep the engines running just in case.
A look back at Dawson from the other side of the Yukon
A birds eye view of where we ate breakfast this morning.
The Yukon with Bonanza Creek in the upper portion of the pic.
Big country
Still some snow, and quite a bit of rain overnight.
We are riding that dirt road you can see running along the far hill.
With the rain it is a little slick so we are taking it easy.
Tim was setting up his go-pro so I stopped and snap a couple.
As dirty as she is she still photographs well.
It is interesting that they send the traffic monitors out on motorcycles.
Looking down at the border crossing
From a distance…
…and from close up.
I think the border agents live here.
We’ve avoided any visits so far, but just barely.
Nice
Yeah!
First view of Alaska
We have arrived
I think these blue bonnets are lost.
Tim made me stand in the puddle
Looks like some farm land down there.
I would probably be doing this if I was up here.
So many beautiful rivers
I don’t know where the float started, but they were taking out here.
The first town we came to in AK
We had a halibut sandwich here below the dog sled and snow shoes.
Big chickens everywhere in Chicken
The town only has a population of 30
But they have a store, saloon, and Cafe
Even a dredge
I see Skid has one of his snowmobiles for sale.
I think this was his fast one.
More big chickens
Where they hold their outdoor concerts
