The Gold Rush

A Canadian company actually discovered this treasure rock in Australia. It definately deserves to be on this thread. Those are some beautiful rocks.

From the little I saw in this video, Dawson City has changed a lot in the thirty years since I was last there. With my pal Edgar Russel gone I think I’ll just remember it as it was. The Yukon was founded by adventurers like Martha Black.

I’ve been to Dawson City many times. It’s a beautiful town. Most people I knew there are probably dead. Unfortunately. I remember meeting a man there who was in on the hunt for the Mad Trapper. Though they try to keep Dawson looking the same it simply must have modernized a bit. I like how everything looked back when I was there and don’t want to spoil that by seeing it again.

Here’s some photos from the beginning of the Klondike gold rush that I had never seen before including some from along the treacherous trail to the gold rush. https://bcgoldadventures.com/dawson-cit ... vWSWQ1nBhg
