Day 7

Friday, June 26th

We had a late morning and met up with Tana's friend at the Whitehorse book store. After lunch, Morgan (Tana's friend) hopped in the motor home with us to head off to Dawson City. Jenna Berkan and Morgan are sisters, and Jenna will be in Dawson City tomorrow night. Morgan got off work for a couple days, so she decided to come along :) We only had one stop during the drive, Five Finger Rapids [insert pic] then headed off towards Dawson City. We arrived in Dawson City and all the RV parks were full, so we pulled up into the park along the Yukon river and cooked dinner. Apparently there was a canoe race from Whitehorse to Dawson City that took a couple days, and they were just getting it! It was pretty sweet. Very similar to the atmosphere at the Iron Man except there weren't as many people. Everyone was cheering on the finishers! After dinner, we heard some motorcycles a block away. They were participating in some motorcycle games. The guys drove and the ladies were on the back and had a series of events to compete in. One was a balloon toss over a fishing pole and then a catch. The other was a hot dog tied to a fishing line and they would drive under it and try to bite the weeny. It was a great time, especially when Susan decided she wanted to play, so she found a biker, and participated! Then, we went to the local Casino where I played some black jack. We headed back to the park, moved our RV (as if there were really going to be meter maids chalking tires here) and slept in the park right in front of a "no overnight parking" sign.
