In the third episode of season 5 of “Postcards From…” showing on the Accessible Media Incorporated television network and streaming service host Christa Couture takes us to Dawson City, Yukon a remote Northern town of some 1600 inhabitants. It is quaint and relaxing and the drone photography and commentary of Couture makes it a tempting Canadian tourist destination.
Couture takes pains to not only to describe and visit some interesting sites but the focus in this episode is more on her interactions with people she encounters while visiting an off the grid cabin to discuss off the grid living and eat Arctic grayling right from the pan, placer gold mining the old way with a pan down by the river, drink a sour toe cocktail, learning burlesque dancing and travelling on the “hissing” Yukon River. Couture’s most interesting observation is that in Dawson City and environs there is a willingness of the locals to accept you for who you are.
