My new hat on the Yukon River

Left Dawson city after a wonderful evening at Diamond Tooth Gerties.  This is the old time saloon that has an old time show which was so bad it was funny.  While there we sat next to two great Albertans Bob and Wayne.  They were the funniest guys and we could not stop laughing the whole time.  Bob had the best hat and after complimenting him repeatedly he gave me his hat.  They reminded me of Laurel and Hardy with Bob playing the Oliver Hardy role.  Wayne was a little more taciturn but what he lacked in verbosity Bob more than made up for. 
We left and headed down the Klondike highway towards Whitehorse 325 miles away.  We stopped at carmacks on the Yukon river for the night.
