After the tedium of yesterday, today we would ride the 'Top of the World highway' to Dawson City (an old gold boom town)
The highway follows the ridgeline from Alaska into Yukon, the first part of the road was hard packed dirt, offering great panoramic views of the rolling mountains below;
Before long we spotted a detour to the gold boom town of Chicken (!);
It was in chicken that Scott spotted his latest business opportunity (not sure it will do too well!);
I think he'd be better off renovating the gold dredger, and trying his luck at panning;
Once the entrepenerial brain had slowed to it's usual dormant state, we continued towards Canada;
All too soon we approached Canadian customs (a fairly remote posting), and declared our weapons;
Once into Canada, it was a quick blitz down the mountain range to the ferry that would ship us into the sleepy town of Dawson City;
