Ferry to town and out to Number 4 Dredge, National Historic Site. An excellent guided tour.
Tried our luck panning for gold at Claim Number 6, lots of shiny specks, silver? Pyrite? Mica?
Real gold?? All safely stored in my Tic Tac container!
Farmers Market, this Saturday morning, well attended with two major produce growers, two preserve and honey ladies, a potter, artist, Tupperware lady and two clothing gals.
the 8:30 show at Diamond Tooth Gertie's and the best saved for last , Sourdough Saloon for the famous Kiss the Toe in a SourToe Cocktail! Not crazy but should be watched!
The ferry crossing at 10:30 pm

We found freshly picked kale, cauliflower, lettuce, carrots, radish, tomatoes to take back to the campsite along with a warm sourdough baguette.
The line up to go back to town was at least three crossings worth so we jumped on our bikes to finish off our time in the city.
A visit to find a friend of a friend, Bonanza Market.
Dinner at Klondike Kate's ,The boys had bison sausage, 12 dollars a piece

However, everyone at that 8:30 show had the same idea for the Toe so by the time we got there, the line up was very long and the privilege would cost us each twelve bucks!
So we decided to have our night cap at the campground instead, 11:30 and still daylight, feels funny by a campfire in this kind of light.
This crow seems to be following us the last few days, I am starting to think about the 'One crow sorrow" poem.

Sun, July 30
Moved from Yukon River campground to Klondike River Campground early in the day to be closer to Dempster Hwy, a 90 minute ride up to Tombstone to enjoy the Interpretative Centre, then home to try some recommended fishing spots using the new"spoon" Dave was given by a tour guide. Good souvenir as it has Dawson City engraved on it.
Back to Dawson City , missed a few previous notes and photos, namely the Historic Dawson City Museum, Pierre Burton's incredible documentary on his childhood in Dawson City , The Locomotive Shelter and the Midnight Dome.
