Thanks for the photos. One thing I have noticed in the last few visits to Dawson Town, is that more and more of the visitors are Canadian. Years ago, finding an out of Province/Territory car tag in the far north was quite rare.
My first trip to Dawson was 53 years ago, not bad for an Okie (Ozark American to be PC) ranch kid to get that far away from home.
I grew up fascinated by the writings of Robert Service, as he lived in both Whitehore and Dawson, working in the banks of both towns. He refered to the town as Dawson Town, so I figure that is good enough for me as well. LOL I have the complete works of Service on my ipad so when I am in either town I love to sit on the river banks, reading his works, letting him take me back in history. Just wish he had found time to make it to Alaska, for a visit.

Haven't been posting of late, as we have been trying to get more camping trips accomplished. After spewing forth verbiage for 15 years on this forum, I decided to give everyone a reprieve. LOL
