13 Jun Dust 2 Dawson
I had a fun time in Dawson City, which gets completely overrun by ADV riders during the rally.
This was as I arrived to the campsite I shared in town:
Leaving a bar at 2am one night. The sky never gets dark up there in the summer!
Our buddy Derek was the first to join the club. We all watched on in horror/disgust.
Something, something… “Drink it fast, drink it slow. But your lips must touch the toe.”
The local entertainment comes on at Diamond Tooth Gerties casino around midnight. And our buddy Craig actually won $1000 on a gold rush era slot machine if you can believe it! Of course, drinks were on him after that.
One of the highlights was the poker run around the surrounding area. I rode a bit with Cameron during the run, who was a nice guy from Whitehorse camping out next to me.
After the poker run I participated in the bike games and didn’t do very well at the standard events, but got wrangled back over to ride in the pillion games where my new pillion and I did pretty well.
Later that night I figured it was my last chance to join the club, so what the hell…
After a few fun days relaxing at the rally, plus an extra day in town to hang out and fish for good measure, I was ready to continue towards Alaska.
Here’s a little Dust 2 Dawson edit I put together on the side of the road after I rolled out of town:
