Dawson City, Yukon, Top of the World Highway, Chicken, Alaska

August 12, 2016 Dawson City, Yukon, Top of the World Highway, Chicken, Alaska

It was a very late start today. We filled the diesel tank and drove up to Dome Hill then headed to the ferry.  The line was fairly long and we had to wait for two crossings before it was our turn. We then experienced the pot holed Top of the World Highway. Since this area experienced heavy rain for the past month the road was awful, in fact, it was so bad that we stopped for the day half way at Chicken, Alaska.  We passed the northern most US Boarder on the Top of the World Highway, population three plus four dogs and one cat. The road was very narrow at parts and very close to the edge in other places with soft shoulders. They call it Top of the World highway since it runs along mountain tops and is not in the valleys as most highways are.
