From Dawson up to Eagle / Alaska

Together with a german family we did a trip on the Yukon River up to Eagle / Alaska. The clients were in the canoes and Gerard and myself in the motor boat with all the equipement.


Far away you can see the two little canoes on this big river.


Sometimes we had wonderful weather with a fantastic view.


Bella sleeping on my lifejacket during a break.


Approaching a fishing wheel ...


... but there is nearly no salmon in the Yukon anymore!


Fourty miles ... around 1900 a "big" town during the goldrush ...


... and this was the general store.


Another old house which was in a quiet good shape.


Followed by thunder we had a wonderful rainbow over ...


... the confluence of Fourty Mile River and the Yukon.


Viewed at a closed fisher camp.


That's the border between Canada and America on the Yukon River ... yes, we just entered America without showing our passports or anything else!


First view over Eagle / Alaska.


Bella and me during the little lunch break in Eagle in front of the general store ...


... accompanied by our frozen salmon.


Last impression from the Yukon river.
