Getting through American Customs was easy:

 and then we drove up the Top of the World Highway. 

 Piles of rocks along the "Top of the World Highway" quite common up here - just to say "we were there"….

 and the views were GREAT!!!!! 

lakeside stream, found some WONDERFUL glittery rocks…. might be a wee bit heavier by the time we get to ABQ!!!! LOL! 

the road, not so great!  lol! Paved part of the way and then we got to the Taylor highway and it was VERY ROUGH and DUSTY!  Had lunch along the way in our camper (you BETTER, as there is NOTHING along the way - no food, no  fuel, no water, no potties, NADA!)  Took us till about 3:00 - another time change…… It is really hard to keep track of date, time, month, etc, as it is daylight almost 24 hours a day - twilight for about 3 hours out of that 24….  

153 miles later, we got to Chicken  at about 3:30 (NEW time!) and checked out the gift shop, BIG chicken out front, signs that show the different 'bird or chicken names' and checked in!  Den parked the camper and got jacks down, etc, and I came inside and almost DIED!  Stuff was on the floor, a wine glass broken and DIRT everywhere!  The road was SO dusty it came in under the slide, in the water heater, and all around the door…..  I had just cleaned yesterday afternoon, so I was NOT a happy camper….  but an hour later, he had helped me vac and clean up the broken glass, and all was well - the camper and truck are doing well, despite the dirt and dust…. Nothing broken on Bird OR truck!  So far, no chips that we have noticed….  

Will post pix of the campground at Chicken in the next day or so.... 

campsite: tight spaces, only elect and wifi, no water or sewer….. 

… As usual, crammed in kind of like sardines, but should be fine!

Not sure what are plans are for tomorrow, after all we saw of this rough road today, not sure if we want to backtrack to go to go up to Circle…. we are going be here three nights, so 2 days of exploring this tight area - (maybe panning for gold, maybe heading to the Chicken Bar - MUST have a beer there!)  There is another Dredge here that Den wants to check out - he went out for the Dredge tour in Dawson City yesterday and this one is smaller - since he is a retired heavy equipment operator, that is RIGHT up his alley!  I stayed home and READ and cleaned yesterday…. (and should have waited!  LOL)  Might even pan for gold and hit it RICH!!!!!  

Maybe more tomorrow!
