... raining and raining and raining. We thought we’d have to forget Dawson altogether. I even had a dream about it. I was falling with the dogs while in the RV. I didn’t want to tell Jim because he really wanted to do it. Jim is determined to do it. It’s scaring me! But then he said if it doesn’t clear up we will not drive it. I was relieved! So we decided to wait and see if the ...

The day was overcast and just enough rain to make things slick and slow so it took us almost forever to get to Tok. But we sure had fun. ...
