Stayed ay Klondike River Campground just outside of Dawson City. Went all the way out to Tombstone Territorial Park - beautiful spot. All the leaves were changing, they were gorgeous. In Dawson we visited the historical Dredge 4 and its support camp. What an awesome machine!

Also visited Diamond Tooth Gertie's bar and casino, with 3 nightly shows of can-can girls.

Sat, 23 Aug 2025 15:00:00 -0800

Took the ferry over to Skagway, AK. Located on the Taiya Inlet, Skagway was an important saltwater port during the Klondike Gold Rush. Now it is a tourist town with streets crowded with cruise ship passengers during the summer days. Luckily, they go back to their ships and leave us to enjoy the evenings and mornings in peace.

Waiting to load ferry from Haines to Skagway
