Freedom is Never Free
One of the locals said, “There is often a reason people end up at the end of the road”.

We are in Keno City, Yukon - a “city” of 15 residents in the winter. There are still a few active mines. Enough mines to keep this place functioning and valid.![Keno City, YT Keno City, YT](http://www.ronerwin.com/big/160812G5689.jpg)
We travelled up a mountain road to Keno Hill (or Signpost Hill). It is the most spectacular view I have ever witnessed.![Signpost, Keno Hill, YT Signpost, Keno Hill, YT](http://www.ronerwin.com/big/160811G5487.jpg)
Old mining camps and buildings dot the mountainside.![Keno Hill, YT Keno Hill, YT](http://www.ronerwin.com/big/160811G5396_5405.jpg)
Further up the road (trail) from the signpost viewpoint is an old cabin. I can’t image how hard it must have been to live here. Hauling food, water and firewood up here above the tree line would have been quite a task.![Cabin on Keno Hill, YT Cabin on Keno Hill, YT](http://www.ronerwin.com/big/160811G5252.jpg)
We are staying at the Silvermoon Bunkhouse. It’s a lovely place right in the heart of town.![Silvermoon Bunkhouse, Keno City, YT Silvermoon Bunkhouse, Keno City, YT](http://www.ronerwin.com/big/160812G5708.jpg)
We will spend a couple more days in this area and try to soak up the local culture.![Cabins in Keno City, YT Cabins in Keno City, YT](http://www.ronerwin.com/big/160812G5669.jpg)
