The crew is camping at the Bonanza Gold Motel and RV Park. That's on the western edge of those dredge piles image I posted on Day 10. Bonanza Creek (formerly Rabbit Creek) was where gold was discovered in 1896.
First sight for the day was a trip up to the top of Midnight Dome. At the top is a view point. It must have been an awesome view of Dawson City, and of the Yukon and Klondike Rivers. The lower part of the drive passes through the gold fields.
The group headed into Dawson City next. They spend about 3 hours checking out the sights. I'm really looking foward to seeing pictures.
Late in the afternoon, they boarded the George Black Ferry, and headed across the Yukon. At this point, the highway becomes the Top of the World Highway.
That evening, they went back across into Dawson City. That made 4 crossings of the Yukon!
