This is the promised companion piece to the
film version of Dawson buildings that I recently posted on my photo blog.
1. The promised photo of the downtown building that I couldn't get on film. I'd love to get inside. It's a pity someone doesn't restore it.

3. This was in the film version, if you really must compare. Have fun with that.

18. Ravens are common in Yukon, and they're fascinating to watch.

22. The only paved road in town. Every other road has this compacted clay surface that works better than you'd expect.
23. This raven was waiting for me to finish my treat. I'd met up with others in the group completely by accident for an afternoon coffee. Dawson is small enough that this happens. One evening I was out for a stroll, having a yen for pizza. Except the pizza place wasn't open. I have my suspicion that the various food places have a deal about not being open the same nights. Maybe they share staff. The rest of the town seems to be in on it. In the end I met up with K and S as they came back from the Greek place. They had two take away containers of appetizers, and told me there was too much for them, and they'd be happy to share as long as I got the wine bottle opened. Happy accidents like this are one of the reasons I like coming on these trips.

Hi Keith,
Blogger and my computer are having a momentary spat so here is my comment on:
Dawson City digitally
--
Oh dear oh dear, now I am going to have to convince April that we should drive to Dawson City. This set of photos help give me a real feel for the look of town. Thank you for the inspiration.
Cheers, Sean

Me. 2800 Km. Don't be in a rush. And then you have another 111 Km to get to the Tombstone Visitor centre, and a few Km more to get the overlook I took so many of the photos from, which is not to be missed. And from the visitor centre, it's only another 816 Km of sometimes brutal road to get to Tuktoyaktuk. Just a nice road trip over August and September, perhaps. I know a great house sitter. :-)
