dawson city, heart of the klondike gold rush

The Dawson City General Store where we stocked up with food for the next few days.
A place so cold it seems that freezers just get really frosty.
In Maximilian's Gold Rush Emporium, for a mere $950 this piece of mammoth scrimshaw could be yours.

On the famous olde worlde boardwalks lined with shops, trading posts and emporiums
the boardwalk entertainers were getting ready for a performance just as we left on our relentless quest for "further north" and the Dempster Highway which has "Cautionary notes" saying "it is a gravel road quite narrow in places and rough,......Ensure your vehicle is suitable for the trip. Spare tires, emergency kits, extra food and additional fuel are essential when travelling in this remote area If you are stranded it may be many hours before another vehicle passes by, so plan ahead" etc.
