Dawson City - Day 2

Started early with a hike up the local mountain. My friends Angie and Darci would have loved it. I loved, um, most of it. I should have paid more attention to the elevation info... also, they are anti-switchbacks. See the photos for more information. Also, it appears that homesteaders will sometimes just up and leave. The mower pictured was by an abandoned cabin on the hike. Do you think you can fix it, M?

In the afternoon, I visited a local spa for a "floatation therapy" session. It was a nice break from road travel and 'touristing'.

I also visited a local graveyard and the fire station museum. I basically got a one-on-one tour of the museum. I was so busy talking to the volunteer that I forgot to take pictures.

In my free time, I picked up a quart of oil (suburban is a little low), and got our propane refilled.

Other than some grocery shopping in the AM tomorrow, I think we are ready to hit the road and head to Chicken, AK for Chickenstock 2026!Read more
