This is one of the toughest roads we have driven. This is the road from Tok Alaska to Dawson City via Chicken Alaska (population 13). It is the best "shake down cruise for your RV I know. From Tok to Chicken it is not to bad, but gets progressively worse from Chicken to Dawson City.
Here is the road to Chicken

| Gravel sure, but relatively smooth and with shoulders |
Coming into Chicken
Chicken is/was a gold mining/gold rush community. Originally the residence wanted to call it Ptarmigan, in honor of the bird they ate that kept them alive during the winter, but no one could spell it. So they called it Chicken as the ptarmigan looks like a chicken.

There are hookups in Chicken but if you buy fuel, you can boondock for free. so here are the "cheapskates"

| Fuel station/general store/gold panning supplier |
Mining is still going on by dredging the stream

This bar not only hangs its hats but has a panties cannon as well
Our hat, no panties

| And what did you expect to find? |
 |
| AN ATTACK CHICKEN!!!!! |
And here is the road from Chicken to Dawson City, dusty, gravelly, bumpy, windy and look at the shoulders (which are soft and will collapse under the weight of a motorhome, as one went off and rolled down the hill the day before). Guess who to his half out of the middle?
