Diamond Gertie’s, Dredge No 4 and Fun and Games in Dawson City

We have been in Dawson City for three nights but have had no internet. It is up now but still dial-up here so pictures may be impossible. 
Dawson City’s full-on gold rush lasted three years. After that the population plummeted as industrial gold mining took over. It is still happening. The federal government took an interest in the town for tourism in the 60’s and has refurbished some of the buildings. Locals as well as young people from ‘outside’ put on their turn of the century clothes and take us on walk abouts and treat us to entertainment of all sorts.
