ON THE WAY TO WHITEHORSE, YT JULY 4

Leaving Dawson going south on the Klondike Trail
towards Whitehorse.


 Piles of tailings left by the dredges in Dawson

 Klondike River
 Turned out to be a nice day



Moose 
 Bridge over Pelly River at Pelly Crossing
 Of course, under construction
Narrow crossing, Bam! hit something
The step--bent ,but fixable





Pelly crossing 


 Five Finger Rapids
Steam boats had to negotiate through...many chose the wrong
one..correct is closest through shute of island and land;
however, water depth was 2-3 feet so they used pulleys to get through.  

 Stopped at Twin Lakes Territory Park
Our driver was too tired-beautiful stop-dry camping
 Twin Lake

tomorrow-continuing to Whitehorse
