Our destination is Chicken, AK today. We will only be driving 107 miles. We were given a tour of a dredge and given a lesson on how to pan for gold. Very interesting as Alan and I are fans of the tv show Gold Rush. We passed a sign for Porcupine Creek. I wonder if it was the same one mentioned in the show. We took the ferry across the Yukon River then traveled the Top of The World Highway . The is a bumpy, full of pot holes dirt road. At times we were driving 11 miles an hour. But this road is considered the highest road in North America. We then celebrated that night with a cookout and champagne toasts provided by our guides.

we made it!
