Still in central Yukon, I visited Keno City, a “City” of 21 inhabitants actuelly ! I must say that the price of silver and zinc are really down, so the mines are actually shut down.
 
1. The hotel and one of the two bars of this quite surprising “like out of the past” village.
 

 
 
2. Service.
 

 
 
3. The other bar with the owner’s car still running!
 

 
 
4. In the well-stocked museum on past mining, a two-wheel drive motorcycle for mud terrain!
 

 
 
5. Again up the mountains for the night, I admired a gorgeous sunset.
 

 
 
6. Nice boondocking site, isn’t it?
 

 
 
7. Some snowpatches remain at this elevation.
 

 
 
8. Magic light at midnight…
 

 
 
9. Last gleams under the clouds…
 

 
 
10. Another mining site from early 1900.
 

 
 
11. Resuming the Klondike Highway to the north-west, I can not believe my eyes! A “rolling hotel” almost like those we had seen in Romania forty years ago. Each passenger has a “drawer” as bed! It is envy, isn’t it..? 😀
 

 
 
12. One of the many lakes along the journey…
 

 
 
13. Dawson City, a villa quite special, festive, almost without modern building; so far removed from all that many people make quite everything here, especially at night in the local casino or one of the many bars…
 

 
 
14. The “continues to produce Belle Époque-style shows every night.
 

 
 
15. Funny advertising for this store… 😉
 

 
 
16. Euuhh, can I really park there..?!! 😀
 

 
 
17. An example of the difficulty to build on permafrost. These buildings are a century old. Protecting the soil from the cold during the winter, they make the permafrost melting, destabilizing their poor foundations. So they continue to “sink” into the ground.
 

 
 
18. Overview on the city along the Yukon River…
 

 
 
19. … which continues her journey toward North_East.
 

 
 
Vivalavida then took the path of the great north on the Dempster Highway, a road that still frightens many travelers. A thin ribbon of over 750 km through boreal forest and tundra, which turns into slippery mud in the rain, mainly driven by the large trailer trucks supplying Inuvivk at the terminus, with a single service station / motel more or less mid-way… To come soon… 😉
