Tonight we celebrated my graduation as a bear whisperer by drinking much beer, but not so much that we did the sour toe cocktail (Google it). So, not a lot of words in today’s post.
We camped in tombstone last night and woke up to rain. We tried waiting it out in the tent, by eventually gave up and drove the end (beginning?) of the Dempster while it was wet. It was a short drive to Dawson City today… We stopped and washed the Jeep on the way into town and then played tourist for the rest of the day.
We stopped by the visitor center. They had higher moose horns on display. Sometimes their horns become locked and they can’t get apart. The animals eventually die that way.

Riverboat on the Yukon river.
Downtown hotel. Home if the famous sour toe cocktail. This is where we stayed.
Piano player in the lounge.
End of the Dempster celebration.
Grilled cheese for dinner.
And some dessert.
Walked past the old mortuary on the way back to the room.
After being on the road for two weeks, and our little bear encounter (little encounter with a bear?) yesterday, we’ve decided that it is time to set our sights on home. Should be there by Saturday if all goes well.
Ok, there were more words in this post than I expected…
