The Yukon River Quest: Not Gold Panning But Fun Anyway.

English: Photo of Dawson City, Yukon, taken by Michael Edwards on June 10, 2007. For the article http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dawson_City (Photo credit: Wikipedia)

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.
