Not at Dawson Yet!!! - coming up to Sixty mile river

 Where in the world is Tom?

Tom and Steve are still running first but have a double canoe just behind them. The weather was overcast today and several times we thought that the canoe had overtaken them, probably an issue with the satellite 

Landcrew Carmacks to Dawson 333 kilometres

Arrived Dawson  12:30pm. Walked around town to work out where the boys would come in on the rivers edge. Landcrew disappointed looks like they wont reach Dawson tonight as planned. Tom and Steve wanted to reach Dawson 11pm to sleep in a bed and have a shower. They are 6 hours behind schedule  so will have to camp before Dawson, so will visit Dawson only briefly if at all .

Looked for Igor the photographer, Christine met on our first visit, no luck, visited the Pit the local bar where the Yukon  River Quest competitors partied to the wee small hours.... empty...
 

 returned to the Downtown hotel, landcrew busy watching Google, tourists downing the Sourtoe.

Where are they, when will they arrive, more drinks say the landcrew.

Computers computers computers, couldnt even use a telephone 5 years ago, now we sit in the pub on our laptops
Tom and Steve have stopped for the night here 9.7 kilometres after Stewart Island
