Wednesday 13th August.
Another day, another new road to traverse. This time heading further north west from Eidsvold to Cracow to Theodore, a distance of approx. 160 km. Cracow is little more than a locality except for the huge mine operation and adjoining workers temporary portable village. We later enquired in Theodore and found out that the mine is a gold mine, reopened in the last 3 years utilising modern techniques and extracting some 180,000 ounces a year. Not a bad return for a mine that was considered to have been mined out years ago.
Theodore is a small town on the Dawson River with a lovely park on the river doubling as an RV friendly camp ground. Another quite busy spot with all vehicles parked alongside the made road beside the river. A nice toilet block with coin operated hot showers ($1), electric BBQ's (free) and ample town water taps around the park.
