Back in Canada

Monday, we left Tok, AK and headed toward Canada.  On the way we passed through a little town called Chicken, AK.  They didn't have plumbing, but they had these nifty restrooms.  (Look closely at the sign.)

We wanted to take a tour of an old school house that was the setting for the book "Tisha", but a mama moose had lost her calf in the area (she was mad!)  and had kept the previous tour group barricaded in the school for an hour.  There were no more tours that day.   

We drove on the "Top of the World Highway" to get to the US-Canada border.  The vehicle in front of us had some illegal firewood so they had to unload it!  You can see the pile of wood on the left.  We got through customs without any incident.  What a relief!

 

Here is a shot of the "Top of the World Highway".  Tami kept singing the Helen Redy song, "I'm on the... top of the world.."

 To get to Dawson City, you must cross the mighty Yukon on a ferry.  There was no cost and the trip took less than two minutes.  

Just outside of Dawson City is a mini-mountain called, Midnight Dome.  Great view of the city and river. Even though I didn't get to see some Dawson City can-can dancers, I did find this babe on a big bench.  

A 30 minute hike got us to this vantage point of the Five Finger Rapids on the Yukon.  It was worth it.

I'm not tipping my hat, just hanging on to it.....very windy.

Still heading south.....caught a rock in the windshield and getting it repaired in Whitehorse.
