To get there, you either have to take a boat a mile and a half downstream, or hike up the big slide just north of Dawson and find the trail. It was steep going at the start, but once on the path it was a leisurely walk. In Moosehide there are several log cabins and a tiny ninety year old Catholic church. We walked around the area for a while, and then yelled to some friends on nearby Pleasure Island and they sent someone over to get us in a canoe. We caught a ride back up river in a power boat, and it made for a lovely day.
Some days just drift by, and others are full of surprises.
This morning when I went down for coffee there was a message for me to call Karen Dubois. Early this evening a bunch of the guys in the Pit band went over to play for Joe Henry's 100th birthday party. Joe has been a Yukon resident all his life and is much loved in the community. Last year he and his wife Annie celebrated their 75th wedding anniversary. The Commissioner's Ball is one of the big social events in Dawson, and turn of the century dress is mandatory.
