THE GOLD RUSH FINISHED BEFORE ANYONE GOT THERE. THE NEWS TOOK TOO LONG TO REACH PEOPLE. TODAY NEWS TRAVELS MUCH FASTER. SO MEN HAD NO AVAILABLE CLAIMS TO MINE. THEY MINED ANYWAY AND FOUND NO GOLD. SO HARD TO GET TO KLONDIKE. TODAY THERE ARE ROADS TO DAWSON SO IT IS MUCH EASIER TO GET THERE. TIMES HAVE CHANGED. PEOPLE NOT NEARLY SO DESPERATE AS DURING DEPRESSION. MINING CAN BE HARD. TO TRAVEL THROUGH YUKON ON FOOT IS REALLY HARD. IT TOOK LIVES, IT WAS SO DANGEROUS BACK THEN. TIMES HAVE CHANGED, BACK THEN THERE WERE NO STORIES LIKE "CALL OF THE WILD" TO SHARE WHAT IT REALLY WAS LIKE ON THE YUKON TRAIL. IT IS SO HARD TO IMAGINE THE DANGERS. I THINK THE INTERNET WOULD HAVE STOPPED THE GOLD RUSH. IT SHARES THE INFORMATION SO I REALLY THINK SO MANY PEOPLE WOULDN'T GO IF THEY KNEW WHAT WAS REALLY HAPPENING. MORAL OF THE STORY IS - GOING TO YUKON GOLD RUSH IS JUST FOR THE MINERS, YOU REALLY NEED EXPERIENCE.
