After visiting with a local photographer, she convinced us that going to the top of Dome Mtn. and taking pictures at sunset would give us the best photos of this area. Well, sunset is now at 12:45 AM!! Sunrise is about 3:30AM! Neither one of us can stay up that late so what did we do? We went back to Diamond Gerties to watch the show again which was surprisingly a different show. Then we went to Bombay Peggy's bar and had martinis. As you might imagine none of this helped us to stay up late so we went up on the Dome at midnight, as late as we could go and still keep our eyes open, and took some really pretty neat photos. It actually wasn't the best night for it since there were still lots of clouds from the evening rain, but we think they came out pretty well. We date stamped them to prove we were up at midnight and the sun had not set! The river is the Yukon and the town of Dawson City.
Today was a lazy day, sleeping late, wandering around town and packing for our next adventure which is a Jeep drive north on the Dempster Highway. We will go past the Arctic Circle, thru the continental divide(again), and to the farthest north town of Canada called Inuvik. In all over 400 miles of gravel road.
