Happy Birthday to me

A lot of people have asked what I'm up to on my birthday now that Jeff has left me and I'm in some foreign country where they play hockey instead of baseball and say aboot instead of about.
So...I figured I would make this one quick post. No pictures because I'm in an internet cafe. I'm in Dawson City, Yukon Territoy, Canada. I'm sitting in a cafe that is in the bar room of an old time hotel. This town is an old gold mining post and is as far north as I'm going to get this trip. I had to take the Top of the World Highway to get here, passing through the booming metropolae of Chicken, AK (pop. 21) and Boundary, AK (pop. 8).

For all you wondering out there, yes I am on a sled being led around by dogs. It is the only way to travel around Alaska and the Yukon Territory. There are no TV's up here and the sun never sets. However, they do have Frankie Goes to Hollywood CDs as "Relax" is now playing. This place is truly a trip back in time.

Well I hope everyone is having a good time doing whatever they are doing. I may go over to the local gambling hall where they have showgirls and slots. Or I may go gold panning. Or hijack a train. I haven't decided yet, but it's my birthday and I'll do what I want to.

Affectionately,
Hayes
