Dawson again


Jack London's home

Rober Services's home
Another interesting day of looking at the town buildings and joining a literary tour. We saw the homes of the three famous authers who had connections with Dawson city; Pierre Burton, who lived there until he was 12 and then went back many times. Then we saw the homes of Jack London and Robert Service. They gave readings at each of the houses and finished with a lunch. The best part was it was all free that day.

Diamond Tooth Gertie and her girls.


From an interlectural morning we wrapped up our day by having dinner at Diamind Tooth Gertie's Casino and dance hall. The oldest Casino in Canada. So for dinner we had a pizza then the show girls came on stage, just like in 1898. With lots of songs and long legs kicked high, so someone told me, we all joined in and it was a great way to end the day. We drove back to the campsite and Cassie in bright daylight at 10pm. It is a non profit business with all proceeds gonig to the town
