Day 2 - Gakona, AK to Dawson City, YT

Well, we woke up this morning at 6:30 so we could get going toward Chicken. As it turns out, the Top of the World Highway, from Chicken, AK to the Canadian border was washed out, and they are only taking caravans through at 8 AM and noon. So we booked it and arrived in Chicken (yes, Chicken is the name of the town) at 11:50 AM, enough time to get Eli a diaper change, grab tuna sandwiches, and get back in the car. We had to go straight through to Dawson City, since there is no other stop after Chicken. We pulled in at about 4 PM. What a long day.

Needless to say, we are exhausted. We had a beautiful, but dusty, trip over the top of the world highway (all dirt) and an easy border crossing. I'll have to update more tomorrow, now it's time to see Dawson City a little bit before we doze off to sleep.

I posted some pictures. Talk to you soon!
