June 10, 2024 - TOP OF THE WORLD into ALASKA!

 122 miles traveled.  Not many miles but LOTS of washboard gravel roads making it a SLOW go!  Notice all the twisty turns switchbacks and the hills when you view the map.  Our front driver's hubcap took a left turn and is still rolling!  However, as usual, the views make it all worth it!  In Dawson City it was necessary to board the George Black ferry with our rig for a 7 minute ride across the Yukon River. (there is no bridge and no other option) Just before the US-Canada border was the highest point on the Top of the World Highway, an elevation of 4515 feet.  Rick made the windy climb to the cairn stack above.  Enjoy the video of his amazing view.  We spent the night in Chicken, AK.  The picture of the chicken is made of used school lockers - pretty cool!  We have traveled 4171 miles since we left J-town and we have arrive in ALAKSA - may the adventure continue!
