Not being in the USA we quietly celebrated today. Joyce did Laundry, I power washed some of the mud off the car and vacuumed the front floor mats. I also found an ATM in town and got some Canadian money.
After chores, Joyce and I went back into Dawson to explore and walk around. We bought tickets at the Triple J Hotel for an evening cruise and dinner on the Yukon.
They use a side-wheel vessel. It was a very enjoyable and relaxing time. There was a lady on board who gave us historical facts about the river. Also showed us a man made cave that is lived in year round. Caveman Bill as he is known has electricity and all the comforts of home. He waved at us as we went up river. We went up river 45 minutes against the current and returned in 8 minutes. The Yukon has a fast current. In fact there was a canoe/kayak race starting in Whitehorse, over 700 Kilometers away that finished yesterday. I was told that the winner did it in 42 hours. Even current assisted that is fast. Hope there was big prize money.
