Dawson City Hotel where we stayed
From Alaska to Yukon and Off To YellowKnife
Author – Lesley Voth
We crossed the border from Alaska to Yukon the other day
As usual am questioned from border control, no smile, personality? no way
Then Traveled on the top of the world road
Down to Chicken township for fuel and Carb load
Man the road was rough and unkept, 120 miles of gravel
The bike slipping from side to side, not the best to travel
After hours of an uneasy bumpy ride
I think I rode it well, just a little pride
We arrived at the Dawson City ferry
A ride from one side of the river, beautiful – very
We stayed at the Hotel Dawson City
Old world, gold mining town,no time to explore, such a pity
On we rode another 600 miles of beauty
Scenery that was Mother natures pleasure and duty
Not a bear or Moose to be seen
But that was a good thing, but shit on the road where they had been
We Arrived at Watson lake, Stayed at Golden Nugget cabins for the night
Charged us an arm and a leg, four stars? in my mind that was not right
But I have come to the conclusion, a bit of a kick
That if you want to spend your life savings super quick
Have a holiday in Canada because you will spend up large
Because as a Aussie Texan you learn quick they know how to charge
But on our way did we see Buffalo and Moose with its young on the side of the road
After we left Lake Watson, eating undisturbed,peaceful and no fear for us showed
Anyway we are now in Fort Nelson for a night stay
Off to Yellow knife tomorrow a thousand kilometers away
So up with the kickstand for another day
I love it and would not have it any other way
