June 26 Dawson City Yukon Territory

Today started out sunny and nice.  We got our bikes out and biked throughout Dawson City.  This is a quaint Klondike town where Canadians panned for gold.  It looks like a western town circa 1880.  The houses and businesses are out of the ponderosa and Gunsmoke shows.  The center of town is the gambling hall called....wait for it............."Gerties". They have an hour show which is straight out of the old west.  We then visited the Robert Service home (get out your Wikipedia and look him up)
We got back to the camper and just then a dark cloud came over the mountain and the skies opened up and knocked all the power out in Dawson City.  It was a blackout but because it never gets dark here in the summer I call it a lightout.  Off towards British Columbia tomorrow.
