Tok to Chicken to Yukon to Dawson

It was great to be on the road with no smoke...It had been really bad and I was glad I was in the Barr house in Fairbanks with a air purifier...When I walked in after 2 days in heavy dangerous for the health smoke, my lungs were killing me and my voice had changed...The whole area was burning all around Fairbanks...things are fair now with a bunch of rain...Tok to Chicken is a small road that turns to dirt...It happened to be caribou season and the hunters were out big time...lots of game going back...With no roads the camps are right on the side of the road..it looks like small citys..Lots of 4 wheelers. Chicken was a nice stop, I think we slept 12 hrs. Today we were on the "top of the world highway"...which is mostly gravel and dirt and follows the top of a ridge for 60+ miles to Yukon and Dawson. Going through customs out in the middle of tundra with nothing around is interesting and kinda cool.. We made it to the river, did a ferry across the Yukon and are now in Dawson..We did some eating, [very expensive town, so is all of Canada] and boardwalking and store shopping , watched a movie from the Northwest Territory people about driving the Dempster Hwy, which we are starting to do tomorrow. Look it up on your computer. All gravel, sometimes its not fun, sometimes dangerous, depends on the rain and snow and we have had rain so we will see. We have 2 spares and good tires.....We will be heading past the Artic Circle...This should be fun. Its one of the reasons we came north...
