We left Fairbanks, AK Aug 4th and headed to Tok, AK. After just 95 miles we stopped in Delta Junction at the Visitor Center where the Alaska Highway ends.

Although the sign says 1,422 to Dawson Creek, where we began our caraventure, we have actually
gone 3,032 miles, so far, and we still have 11 more days!!! Finally arrived in Tok, AK after another 100 miles.
The next day we drove from Tok, AK to Dawson City, Yukon Territory and, OH MY GOD, what a drive that was! Only 192 miles BUT it took us 13.5 hrs. We left TOK around 7:00 and arrived in Chicken, AK 2 hrs later. Chicken is just one of those SMALL stops in the road you HAVE to make just to say you've been there.

We left Chicken at 10:30 and continued our drive over Top-of-the-World Highway. The road (HWY?) is steep and narrow in places with little or NO shoulder and is not paved!

It took us 6 hrs to drive the Top-of-the-World Highway. We finally arrived in Dawson City and had to wait 4 hrs to get on the ferry because the ferry would take all cars, buses, and commercial vehicles as they drove up, before any RVs could get on.

Needless to say, after we drove to the campground and got the motor home set up, Rich had a Cup of Noodles and we went to bed.
