Day 25, Saturday, 7/11: Happy Birthday to my niece Cindy! In Dawson City today doing a final prep of stuff for the Dempster trip. Except for some rough road, it was a pretty uneventful day. Nice weather but no critters to be seen…. This town is a major tourist town and the streets were filled with people today! We got fuel and filled the extra tanks in the trailer. Also filled the extra water containers since we will probably be dry camping for a bit. Doing a load of laundry and bought a few groceries. Plan to watch a bit of TV this evening since we have a cable connection here at this RV park. It’s been almost 4 weeks since we have seen TV! We have picked up a radio station here and there.
About those cinnamon buns at the Braeburn Lodge (last place we tried them). We met someone yesterday who told us the reason they weren’t that good is that the two women who normally make them were on holiday and they were selling some that had been frozen! We only ate about half of it and threw the rest away…
Hoping to grill a burger tonight if it doesn’t rain on us. It is quite warm (75) but cloudy and just now starting to drip a bit. Plan to go over everything before we head out tomorrow: all vents closed, tires in good shape, hitch oiled, everything strapped down, etc. The road is 475 miles of dirt/gravel and we have heard it is VERY dusty.
When we make it to Inuvik we will try to hook up to internet at their public library…
Happy Birthday to our son, Jim, on Monday, 7/13!!!! Won’t have internet or phone then.
