June 16th
Spent another day in DC. We visited the museum, Pierre Berton's home, Robert Services Cabin and Jack London's Cabin. We revisited some of the shops in DC and then headed off to the Dempster Highway, towards Tombstone, Yukon for the evening. Today we have been dealing with a fair bit of rain but the last few days have been warm and sunny. We arrived at Tombstone around 6:30. It is 72 km along Dempster Highway towards the NWT, it is a dirt road but in pretty good condition, although it has been raining and it looks as if we are in for a storm this evening. This park is just north of the tree line less then 200 km from the arctic circle. Tonight we to dined on some moose that Dave Robinson gave us at the trading post in DC. It was delicious. After dinner we did a hike on Grizzly Trail along the North Fork Klondike River, we took along our bear spray and a bell just in case We built campfire in the evening and watched as the rain which was falling on us was putting a thin layer of snow on the high mountains around us.
