Day 7 - Aug 10: Klondike Loop

The AC'12 convoy is now traveling the Klondike Loop. Today's portion is on the Klondike Highway, which comes up from Whitehorse, Yukon Territory to Carmacks, and on to Dawson City. The group will stop short of Dawson City at the junction of the Klondike Highway with the Dempster Highway.

At Stewart Crossing, there is a highway to the northeast called the Silver Trail.  It leads to Mayo and Keno City.  These are historic mining communities.  Today Keno City boasts of a population of 20, a mix of old-timers, miners, and artists (hmmm, sounds like St. Elmo, Colorado).  Too bad the convoy will not be traveling the Silver Trail.

Tomorrow the convoy will head up the Dempster Highway towards the Arctic Circle.
