No trip to Dawson is complete without a visit to Diamond Tooth Gertie's, the only casino North of 60 in Canada.


Gertie herself putting on a show.


The Gertie Girls--cancan dancers.


My Dad playing golf at the Top of the World course. The only golf course I've ever seen that includes old mining equipment as hazards. There is also no stroke penalty if you loose your ball to a raven or one of the foxes that lives on the course!


On our way home, we stopped at Five Finger Rapids on the Yukon River. It's a beautiful spot.


And we stopped at the Fox Lake Burn. This area burned in a massive forest fire in the summer of 1998.


The pictures don't capture the feeling of utter devasation that still fills the burn area. This fire was very close to the city of Whitehorse. It was fought hard by lots of crews and still burned hundreds of thousands of acres.

My parents left yesterday morning. It was a very nice visit, but too short.
