July 12, 2009







We drove to the old mining town between Dawson City and Tok.  It has the wonderful name Chicken.  The folks wanted to call it ptarmigan, but didn't know how to spell it so they called it Chicken.  We had homemade chicken soup.  It tasted good but gave us both heartburn  We also hike to 4 mile lake.  It was a short hike only 1.4 miles.  Surprisingly the bugs are not bad.  The Skagway hike was the worst. The fields of fireweed were breathtaking on the hills.  An entire hill was covered in pink.  Big fire here in 2004.  Joined some other "Trailer Trash" for drinks and a sing along.
