The photographer soon realized the sky's the limit when it comes to their potential, far beyond shots of pretty scenery. But, speaking of which, Jason's photo essay, showing a drone's eye view of Yukon communities, is in the spring issue of The YUKON Magazine.

When Manu Keggenhoff moved from Germany to a tiny cabin outside Atlin, B.C., 14 years ago, she didn’t have running water or any of the fancy stuff.  In the final episode of our winter podcast series, she shares about cabin life, cabin fever, and best of all—outhouses.  This conversation was inspired by an off-grid column written by fellow Atlinite Fiona McGlynn for The YUKON Magazine.  Our spring podcast series drops February 2022.

The venue is a throwback to the Klondike Gold Rush of 1898 and dance hall era.  Tara Borin, a poet, writer, and Dawsonite, tells us how the gambling hall got started and how, 50 years later, it keeps pace with its small, northern home.
