A follow-up to an earlier post regarding Daryl Carey vs. his sometimes partner Rodney Adams.

If you remember they had a dispute over a few placer claims in Whitehorse, Yukon.

And I mean IN Whitehorse - the claims are within city limits.

The criteria used to settle this dispute is unique and kind of kool I think.

This was sent to me ny some travel company that had the idea I was interested in going North. I would normally have spammed it but decided to have a look. I have never been to the Yukon territories but have wondered about it a few times. If I was to go Dawson City is at the top of my list. A couple of cousins lived in Whitehorse as children but moved south in their teens. Better schools.

I have visited the Arctic a couple of times working in Alaska on the pipeline and Canada in the Arctic Ocean on a Dredge building Islands. A story for another time.

Have a read it is a good article..  The Yukon River Quest: The Longest Canoe and Kayak Race in the World - GoNOMAD Travel:
