Alaska Trip Day 11

We left Dawson City at 6:40 AM and caught a ferry across the Yukon river to Top Of The World Road. After driving 100 km we had to wait at the US customs for about 10 minutes until they opened. We were 1st of 2 in line to cross so while we waited we had breakfast in the RV. It was a very scary road, wash board gravel thru the mountains, no pavement, no guard rails, hairpin turns and sometimes the road wasn’t wide enough for 2 cars to pass. We averaged 30 miles an hour for 170 miles. Shortly after Chicken Alaska the road got a little better and was great when we got back on the Alaska highway all the way to Fairbanks. We walked into the airport and Jody was just on her way to baggage claim. We couldn’t have timed it better. We are now at our RV site getting ready to get up at 5:00 AM to go to the Artic Circle tomorrow.
