2010 - July 1 (Day 16) Canada Day! Whitehorse to Dawson City

We got a late start this morning. Left the campground about 8:45 and stopped for some groceries and gas. About an hour after leaving Whitehorse, we stopped at Braeburn Lodge for one of their world famous cinnamon buns. $14.50 for a cinnamon bun and two cartons of milk sounds about right, eh? We'll be eating it for a few days!

All of the tour books said that the drive from Whitehorse to Dawson City is great for seeing wildlife. We talked to several people who saw multiple grizzlies, moose and elk. We saw some birds.

Even with the late start we managed to make the 335 mile trip to Dawson City by 4:10pm. After setting up the camper, we strolled around town for a while before eating dinner and seeing a couple of shows at Diamond Tooth Gertie's.


Tomorrow, it's on down the Top of the World Highway. Wonder where we'll be tomorrow night?!?!
