Dawson City, Yukon

We got off the Alaska highway in Whitehorse and have been traveling on the Klondike highway. This section of the road has frost heaves. A frost heave is sort of like a ski jump. We did a bunch of those today. The town of Dawson City is pretty cool. It was a gold boom town in the 1890s. All the streets are dirt. Sunset last night was midnight. Sunrise was 4 AM. I'm trying not to think about the fact that it took us 5 hours to drive here and I will have to paddle that distance in 3 days.
