Day 12 - Aug 15: Why did the Chicken cross the road?

To see the AC'12 Convoy!

Ok, I'm sure that people in Chicken, Alaska, have heard about every chicken joke out there. The AC'12 convoy is probably dishing the chicken jokes out like crazy tonight, as this is their destination.

After leaving Dawson City, Yukon Territory, and the Yukon River behind them, the convoy headed up the Top of the World Highway to the Alaska/Canada border station. When we crossed in 1979, it wasn't much more than a shack.

From the border station, they continued to west to Jack Wade Junction. Here the convoy turned onto the Taylor Highway.

The distance traveled today was probably one of the shortest. It will give the convoy participants a chance to check out Chicken (pop 23).
