CHICKEN, AK
This was the first town after the boarding crossing! Chicken consisted of a Gift Store, a Saloon and a Cafe and its population in the summer is 25ppl and decreases to 15ppl in the winter. Its a gold mining town and we'd been told to pan there but it was raining and none of us really felt like gold panning - the boys decided that they'd rather buy three coffee's then spend $15 on gold panning!

Chicken's three stores...

Everywhere you look there is some kind of chicken something!

The roof of the Saloon was packed with hats from all over the world!

This was on the Saloon door...

Thank you! Rene does them in photoshop, you take a panorama shot and then you just press a button in photoshop and it threads the pictures together. Rene's really good at photoshop so he edits a lot of photos, I need to download and learn it.
It was so good to talk to you on Sunday night and see your faces!
Luv Andrea
P.S The Turkey and everything that came with it was delish!
