6-24-2011 Dawson City to Chicken, Alaska


In the clouds again, but totally awesome!


The road was totally dirt.  And the rigs looked like it at the end of the day!


Rolly and Bonnie on the other side of the hill.


Road washout...one lane.


Awesome views.


One of only 3 business in Chicken, AK.  This lounge had ball caps hanging from the ceiling and walls.  Quite a collection.

Chicken was named by miners because they couldn't spell Ptarmigan.  An active mining town, everything "chicken" is here.  Very remote, nothing there just the 3 businesses and a couple of campgrounds.  But everyone you meet travelling through Alaska asks "Did you stop at Chicken"?  Suppose it's the combination of such a small stopover, and the challenging roads to get there LOl....
