Alaska #10 Dawson City, Yukon

I had a great day in Dawson City, Yukon. During the day I toured many of the local historical sites such as the old banks, a bar, the post office, etc. I also visited the Jack London Museum and Cabin and the Robert Service Cabin. I drove up to the Dome, where I could see the whole town along the Yukon River. At one time it was believed that you could stand at the Dome and see the sun set and rise at the same time on June 21st. Actually, the sun set at 11:30 P.M.and rose again at 2:00 A.M.
At night I met Diamond Tooth Gertie and her dancers and enjoyed the singing the dancing. Tomorrow it is on to The Top of the World Road, across the border and to Chicken, Alaska.
Warmest regards, Gus
