When you can….play golf on the Top Of The World Golf Course at midnight and it is still light. Or drive to the top of the Midnight Dome and watch the sun quickly dip behind Ogilvie Mountain for the little darkness of the night. Visit the local saloon and partake in the ritual of the Sourtoe Cocktail. This is a Dawson tradition of drinking a shot of Yukon Jack that contains a human toe that must touch your lip. If you are able to do this your name goes into the official Sourtoe book. This was a tradition started during the gold rush using a miners frozen toe! Books have been written about this! Some of the filming of “The Big Year” was in Dawson and those actors and crew have their names in the official book! We did it!! In fact our names are in the book twice!!

When you can…..drive the Top of the World Highway from Dawson City to the Little Gold/Poker Creek border crossing from the Yukon to Alaska, at the most northern international border in all of North America. From Dawson City we rode the, free of charge, George Black ferry across the Yukon River to begin our beautiful drive on the Top of the World Highway.This narrow, winding, dirt and loose gravel washboard highway winds along above the timberline with steep grades, no shoulders, and few guardrails.  Potholes are abundant and wet weather makes it even more exciting. It is a drive we will never forget! 

I want to say these towns of 38 people in Alaska are amazing UNLESS you are as sick as I am and there are no DR or Walgreens for days. We will arrive in Fairbanks tonight and I hope to get to a Dr. So this is fairly messed up but I am trying to do something today! Goodnight!
