Free ferry ride across the Yukon river
(in winter, they drive across) We ride across the Yukon river on the free ferry and the current is very strong in this river. In the winter, they drive across the frozen river in their cars and trucks. (Sounds pretty cold to me)

The mighty Yukon River Since it is still daylight we do a small tour of the town, this is really where the Klondike gold rush happened, folks, the Yukon and Klondike rivers come together at this small town of Dawson City. Remember the old radio program Sergeant Preston of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police and his adventures around places like Whitehorse, Dawson, Skagway, etc? I can hear it now "On King! Mush, you huskies!"

(Yeah, I could have just said confluence, but didn't want everyone scrambling for their dictionary)

The big three in front of the Big Slide We stop at a local convenience store for a microwave sandwich supper and then return to the White Ram for some sleep even though it is still daylight. Total flying time from Ft. Nelson to Dawson is 7.1 hours.

Monument to the Gold rush days At the time I took this photo, I thought I WAS close enough that you could read it! I think the words and plaque deal with the struggles that were encountered when crossing Chilcoot pass to get to Dawson City.
