Catch up from August 1st

We stopped to try our luck at panning gold at milepost 188 (Hoole Canyon) along the Campbell Highway. We didn't find any gold, but it does appear there is silver. Afterwards, we decided it was too late to move forward and our camper brakes were out, so we decided to set up camp for the night. It was a beautiful place to stay, along the river rapids. At night it sounded like we were along a waterfall.

Bob fixed the brake connection by borrowing the twist connecters from the refrigerator fan. They broke from the bumpiness of the gravel road and the badgering of the flying stones. He also washed down the car and camper. He was really bothered by the dust we picked up along the way.

It was a nice, cool night, and quite aside from the water and rain that fell later in the evening. I inspected the ground for new animal tracks in the fresh mud in the morning and found 4 set of different animal tracks, none were bear tracks. There was a den in the bank that we did not inspect up close, but looked the right size for a fox, wolf, or wolverine.

Bob made a great breakfast of ham and cheese omelets with sliced garlic new potatoes. We don't usually cook breakfast, so this was a nice treat, especially with our picturesque setting.
The drive to Dawson City was uneventful, though we did have a momma bear and her two cubs pass in front of us. We got to Dawson City at 9pm. We get to take a shower in the morning, hooray! We haven't taken many pictures the past couple days since we have mostly been driving, but we will add more soon.
