Bonanza Gold.

Dawson City YT the major site of the Klondike Gold Rush is the city at the beginning of the "TOP OF THE WORLD HIGHWAY". The spirit of the GOLD RUSH fever is still intact.

Leaving at 7 AM this morning we drove steadily, through torturous roads, narrow with sheer drop off, with muskeg and permafrost heaves and waves. Arriving at Dawson City at 3 PM after a tiring drive of 545 km from Whitehorse on very winding roads with many hair-pin turns, we found that the RV park we chose still had Gold Rush Fever. We paid $38, (the most expensive ever) in order to stay in a hard packed gravel RV park so close to our next door neighbour we can almost touch them. Gold rush fever strikes again.
