This afternoon turned out to be ‘proper’ Dawson weather: sunny and HOT! It was time to go get my first ice cream of the season!

I parked at my favourite spot at the corner of 3rd and Queen because it’s a conveniently central location:

I then walked the half block to the post office:

I doubled back to Queen, crossed, turned right towards the water, and turned left on Second to go to the bank:

After taking out some money, I cut across Second and a vacant lot, crossed an alley, and came up beside the row of buildings that holds the ice cream shop:

Turns out they’re only opening at 3 for the next little while and I was a few minutes early, so I decided to take a quick stroll around town.

I headed back to Third and Queen and took Queen all the way to King:

I turned left at King to head back towards Front Street and the water, and took this shot of the Dawson Visitor’s Centre (log cabin) across from which is the NWT and Dempster Highway information centre (blue roof):

I took a left at Front Street and ambled down the two blocks that would take me back to the ice cream parlour. There, I went all out, since prices have not changed from last year, and had two scoops in a waffle cone. Summer has officially begun! 😀
