Gold
Bonanza RV Park, 74B, 3rd night
Today we got to do the Dempster Highway backwards as we make
our way south to Dawson City to rejoin our trailer that spent the night alone
at the Gold Bonanza RV Park.
It was a nice day in Eagle Plains and we got up pretty early. They actually
have cable TV there with one channel which was a news channel. The Canadian Post workers are going on stike.
We had breakfast in the dining room. The food was great again. Had a bacon, cheddar, mushroom omelet.
Outside, there were a couple of bicyclist getting ready to leave and take the
highway south. They were dropped off and
Inivuk and are taking the Dempster down to Dawson City. We met a woman from Switzerland yesterday
northbound. 30 miles later, she showed
up at the Eagle Plains motel. She’s
alone on a five-month trip around Canada.
I gassed the truck at a 1970’s vintage gas pump and we were
on our way at 08:00. Saw no wildlife at
all. It was sunny most of the way except
for the last few hours, when it started raining as we entered the Oglivie
Mountains. As we hit Dawson City, it
rained very hard just as we reached the campground. I topped off the gas tank and then went over
to the RV wash to squirt down the truck to get the Dempster Highway off
it.
By then, the rain died down and I made some hot dogs for
supper. What an end to a wonderful
adventure. I do have some pictures for
you.
