The Agnew Family aboard the "Dog House"

Time to start heading for Dawson City. We planned on stopping half way or a bit further — the location of the campgrounds control where we get to stop. And there aren’t a lot of campgrounds on the road to Dawson City. It was a uneventful drive. The scenery was OK but not spectacular like some of the other drives (OK we’re getting spoiled!). We did stop to see the Five Fingers Rapids. That involved going down then back up 219 steps, but we all made it even Colin! Splash out did us all as she ran up the steps as fast as she could to get to her mommy (Margaret). We stopped for the night at Moose Creek Yukon Campground. When we go there we had the place to ourselves so we picked what we though were the best two sites. Once we were settled Ed, Colin, Zaph, Splash and I decided to go for a walk. The guys laughed at me in my mosquito jacket. Half way through our walk Ed was scrambling into his mosquito jacket and Colin was spraying himself with deet ... it was my turn to laugh at them. I have never seen as many mosquitos and as big of mosquitos as I did on that walk. The fishing is suppose to be good at the creek as Grayling love to eat mosquitos. They should be well fed fish!

Look! real wildlife!

Man, are these mosquitos big!
