Dawson City Roadtrip

Name: Dawson City Roadtrip
Distance: 535 km (one-way from Whitehorse)
Crew: Pouyan, Mike, Garyk
Dates: Friday Sept 2nd - Sunday Sept 4th, 2016

Additional Info:
We left Whitehorse for Dawson City after Mike was off of work. The drive up went by quickly while playing games of "Would You Rather", stopping for sunset pics (or not stopping for sunset pics if Pouyan is driving), watching a 5 hour sunset, and seeing the Northern Lights begin to show.
We arrived just after 11PM and tried to find a hotel to stay at but it looked like the entire city was booked up... so we ended up crashing in Mike's Tahoe. After a few too many shots of Burt Reynolds and a game of pool, we were squished into the Tahoe and passed right out.
After a day of recovery, walking around town, and finding caesars to drink (and an unreal breakfast at The Eldorado), we got to check into the Downtown Hotel and relax for a bit before our next night out.
We ate dinner at the Drunken Goat - great Greek food! (...and Burt Reynold shots..) Then headed to Diamond Tooth Gerties aka Canada's first gambling hall. The boys proceeded to win a few hundred bucks, so they cashed out and we hit the town again. We made it to the Downtown Hotel Bar and did the Sourtoe Toe Shots which I was strongly against doing until the boys fed me enough drinks.
On our way home the next day, we drove past a jousting match which still cracks me up to think about.. I had no idea that was a sport that people still do..
We got amazing Northern Lights both nights, I would 100% go back to Dawson City!
The drive up was gorgeous!

When I caught the northern lights with my phone camera.. you know how amazing it must have been! Pouyan got some awesome lights photos on his DSLR Camera.
