Top of the World to Chicken

We settled in at our campsite in Tok and our first excursion in Alaska was the Top of the World Highway to Chicken...yes my friends, I said Chicken, Alaska. Chicken is located 80 miles from Tok on one of the most awful roads ever...gravel, dips, heaves, etc...we purposely did not take our motorcoach.

Chicken consists of 3 businesses each with their own unique attraction...Downtown Chicken, Chicken Gold Camp, and the Town of Chicken/The Gold Panner/Chicken Creek RV Park. There is no city water, sewer, or electric service in Chicken...can you say wicked rustic??? Each of these businesses have a chicken statue....

We had lunch at the Saloon in Downtown Chicken and guess what we ate...chicken. The bar was wicked funky with hats, license plates, and other paraphernalia. Lee and I both enjoyed some Alaska Amber beer which was so good that we planned on picking some up when we got to Fairbanks.

Here are some random pictures I took which gives you the flavor of Chicken, so to speak!
