There was a intensive headwind again, when I started cycling today. But I knew, that it was only 40km left to go to reach Dawson City.
So I forced myself to a nice speed despite the wind and reached the city within 2 hours. The whole mining is still obvious until this day: Huge hills of gravel are lying besides the road - leftovers of huge dredges that digged for gold here.

In the shop I bought a whole chicken, bread, milk and pears and ate it all - what a lunch!
