It was a long and bumpy road to Dawson today. We forgot to turn off the pump in the trailer and the bumpy road turned on the kitchen sink tap which then emptied out our freshwater tank all over the floor. Quite the disaster.
We'd planned to camp in the government campground on the Yukon River but they have no potable water there (and we needed to fill our tank) and we needed to do our laundry. So we went to the Bonanza RV park. It's just a gravel pit but it's a historic gravel pit as this gravel has been run through countless slices in the search for gold.
It's only $35 to stay here but then they nickle and dime you for everything else, a loony for water, 2 loonies for a shower, and, worse yet, the sanidump was $5 with no water.
Our first act was to drive up to the Dome for the view just as a storm was blowing in.
down the Yukon River

and towards the Klondike River and our RV park.
Next we headed downtown to check out the town. We rode out the afternoon shower by watching films about the gold rush and sternwheelers in the Visitor Centre.
Supper was fish and chips and chowder at Sourdough Joes. Somehow we stayed up till midnight and yeah, it was still light out.
