July2 Whitehorse to Stewart Crossing

Mostly trees with lakes mixed in today. Some historical stuff along the way, regarding the miners navigation the Yucon river through what is called 5 fingers. Had a cinnamon roll that was at least 8 inches across. Right after we saw a beautiful Bald Egale in a tree. First we have seen.

Arrived at Moose CG near Stewart Crossing in the Yucon around 4 pm. Everyone went out to look for a fishing spot. On the way Jerry and I saw a brown bear and cub. No luck with the fishing, lots of brush and hard to get to the banks.

 

July 3, Day trip from Campground to Keno and Mayo

Drove up the Silver Trail to Keno and Mayo today. Not too exciting a drive, but keno museum was very well done. There was a drive to the top of a hill with direction/mileages to various towns. Very pretty views. Lots of current and past silver mining in the area. Saw a porcupine and I think a grouse. Stopped at Mayo dam to fish. Lutes caught two fish. Got home late, but had a great day.

 

July 4, Moose CG at Stewart to Dawson City

Drove from our campsite to Dawson City, with lots of flowers blooming. An interesting plaque about a fault line, a lake or two and that was it. Road had lots of repair spots. Got to Dawson about noon and explored town a little bit. Came back and had a really nice joint dinner outside. Spit some rain but we had our awning out so no problem.

I've not been posting pictures because internet, even when available is slow. Most the time we just don't have it!
