THE SUN IS SHINING!! We finally have a morning not dreary and raining! We had our breakfast of eggs and reindeer sausage (leftover form a previous breakfast) and left the cabin. We walked around Dawson City a bit. This area is famous for the gold rush in 1898 and in some ways, it hasn't changed much since.   We drove up to Midnight Dome where the city planned a celebration in the 1890's for the midnight sun on the summer solstice. But the sun didn't get the schedule of events and set about half an hour before midnight and rose again a couple of hours later. It didn't stop the party, though. They have a summer celebration here every year, but they don't wait for midnight. From Midnight Dome we had a beautiful 360 degree view of the area, with the Klondike River and the City of Dawson below. We could see the "Top of the World Highway" winding up the mountains across the river. The sun is out and our moods are better. We drove back down into town.
