Traveling to Dawson City ... July 10 and 11, 2009

We are now on our way to Dawson City, YT. There is not a lot along this stretch but beautiful scenery. We plan for one night of dry camping along the way. We are a bit concerned about the smoke in the air….there have been many fires in this area. It is so dry here. Chuck has to be so careful he does not end up with one of his respiratory infections.

Kitchen Shelters

Inside Kitchen shelter they have a stove for heat and you can cook on the surface. They were screened to keep out most of the bugs. I have not mentioned bugs on this trip so far, but they are out to get you. We use alot of bug spray. We sure smell good, but the bug spray does help.

Children's playground

Free firewood

Bear proof garbage container

You must pump your water and then you must boil it for 10 minutes....needless to say we did not use their water. We bought drinking water for $2.00 per gallon

Just a reminder that you are in bear country

Pay station....no one greets you and collects the money
