It rained a bit last night making the road a bit snotty, but nothing compared to the Dalton Hwy. We were able to travel 25 to 50 mph. There was a point I thought our luck ran out when heavy fog set in causing the views to disapear, but it turned out the road was just taking us in and out of the cloud base.
It was a little slow at times, but we finally got to the Yukon River, where we took a free ferry across to Dawson City. Dawson is a time warp to the gold rush days. The place has a very authentic old time feel to it, dirt roads and all. Everything is pretty expensive here too.
We're going to stay somewhere around here and explore the town a little more tonight. Then we're heading to Whitehorse tomorrow to meet up with Steve tomorrow.
Note that if you are trying to contact me, my mobile phone will be off until we get back to the states.
