Today we stayed in this campground. Church service was by DVD. We were just a few yards from the Yukon River. These Canadian Geese had been feeding on the river bank before we disturbed them. In addition to these, we saw a v-shaped flight of them overhead. I guess they are heading South, and we need to do the same. It is already what we central Floridians would call winter. We have had nights in the mid 30's. Daytime is usually about 65 to 70. We hiked along the river about half of a mile and found three old riverboats in the stern-wheeler 'graveyard." They had been beached and abandoned many years ago.
Riverboats were the main means of transportation for this area until the Klondike Highway from Whitehorse was built in the mid 1950's. We also saw a red fox walk through a campsite near us.
