July 2 dawson to border to chicken Woke up in free camp Went over on top of the world hwy for a few, stopped right before border to check out stealth sneaky dirt road which went on forever there were Little Rock sculptures and the sun was hitting the tundra beautifully. I got out and took pics of van going through puddles and driving along road-we let dog run next to car, we walked about 20 or so min down to check it out -rain was coming in so we drove back and headed to Alaska Canada border Border guy was like lurch super weird totally by the book made me show him nuggets papers and made us dispose of our 6 pieces of firewood-I had 2 Canadian tattoos on my face whilst talking to border patrol Rain came shortly after getting into the states-dirt and paved mixed road awesome views Finally got to Chicken alaska-stopped at all 3 stops in the town 1st stop gold panner where we got homemade fudge which is now gone 2nd stop was down the street at downtown chicken which was a store a saloon and a cafe 3rd was across street at rv Park and store-we got some souvenirs and at the rv park we got a delicious grapefruit ipa made from hoodoo brewery with no food in our tummies so that set us up for success then the lady gave us coffee beans for 5$ and I used their bathroom to get the Canadian flag tattoos off my face We went across to the saloon and everything just escalated from there. First it was just us in the bar with Chris the bartender originally from St. Petersburg Florida who got a job in chicken from applying online. This older couple came in, we got to talking, laughing they ended up buying us a permafrost shot from Yukon jack (which is apparently made in Connecticut) and the old guy who is like 7 feet tall got a free drink for picking up the panty cannon from floor to bar-75 pounds you have to pick it up with 1 hand- then a younger couple came in with their sprinter we talked to them they are traveling from California and then 2 young dudes who are film and photographers came in mike and Matt we talked to them for a while as they are also heading to South America and then Tom and colene showed up with delica. Pan American class of 2018. We should start taking photos. So there is this thing at the chicken creek saloon where the walls are covered with hats and shredded panties. We were curious about how the panties get shredded and of course you fill the panty cannon with gun powder along with the panties and light them on fire and watch them explode. So talk talk talk I wanted to do this before we left. I got some nz Macpac panties to give chris the bartender to blow up and he was like well if you wait around for like 5 min Tony can do it. Tony works there and 2 days ago he acquired a baby squirrel as a pet-named skeeter because the miner who found it found him in a gold panning bucket full of mosquitoes. Dude had this thing living in his hood. So Tony grabs all the gun powder and supplies, the locals and everyone camping is there watching. There is a kiwi women and we are joking about the durability of Mac pac. Tony gets it all set up, the locals yell at him that he’s doing it wrong bc it’s his first time, he lights the pantie cannon and BOOM! They are shredded into 2 pieces!! Meanwhile across the street the bang scared a momma moose and her baby out of the bushes so now everyone is taking photos of that craziness walking around. I gave Tony a hug as he had just popped his cherry with my undies and got the staple gun from Chris to put my panties on the wall. I put them right next to the bills hat that you first see on the right when you enter the bar. The panties say my name and go bills!

Went to specialized auto, switched out our camp gear for rv park gear and jerry gave us a ride to ship creek rv dropping us off on the back side Set up tent, ate more chocolate that some guy from mechanic gave us (halloween candy) and ordered terrible sushi from urban sushi for 60.00-not worth it.
