We went over the Top Of The World highway today. What an experience!! The views were some of best I have ever seen. We left Dawson City at 10:50 am and pulled into Chicken, Alaska about 4:30 pm. Our driving distance was only 110 miles. The road was almost all gravel so we rarely went faster than 25 miles an hour. Most of the time it was 15 to 20. The road between Dawson and the U. S. border was pretty smooth gravel. From the border to Chicken was pretty ruff with a lot of holes in it. The road in Alaska got pretty narrow. There were very few guard rails and a lot of STEEP dropoffs. Made Louise nervous a time or two. The spectacular vistas made it all worth while. Anyone going to Alaska should go this way if they have the time. If they don't have the time, they should make the time. When we got to Chicken, Alaska we decided to spend the night here. Small campground with wifi and a place to pan for gold. What more could a guy ask for. We will be moving on in the morning.
Till next time
