A month in

I've been in Dawson for a little over a month now, so I'm starting to get a good feel for things around here. Work is work; I really don't like it, but it'll do for now I suppose. I'm not sure what I'd do if I weren't working here, though going to hang out with Gerry in Tofino sounds pretty appealing. I'm going to stick this out as long as I can, but it's wearing pretty thin.

Dawson itself is pretty good; weather is almost always nice and it's a really relaxed place to live. I'm definitely not looking forward to having night again; 24 hour light just seems normal to me now, and it opens up a lot of possibilities to hang out outside at night. The people I work with are pretty cool too, though I definitely miss my friends from home, and riding. The internet here is so-so at best (we are just stealing it I suppose...) so I can't get online as often as I'd like; it's really starting to curb my internet addiction, which is good. The area surrounding Dawson is quite beautiful. Last week I went camping for a night in Tombstone Territorial Park, which was amazing. Also, just across the Yukon River the highway to Fairbanks goes across mountain ridges and is an incredible drive. I hope to get to explore more over the next month and get some pics of the sights.
