Sunday June 23

We are still in Tok.  Have spent some of the day doing chores, like scrubbing the floor, cleaning the bathroom and vacuuming, all of those fun things that have to be done.  I think we will do some laundry later on.  

We plan on heading up toward Fairbanks tomorrow.

Yesterday we drove over to Chicken, it's a old mining town and I believe they still do some mining around there.  It's interesting how the town got its name, The old timers wanted to name it "ptarmigan " but could not agree on the spelling so they named it chicken.  The ptarmigan is a wild bird that looks a lot like a chicken around the size of a grouse.

The weather has been really nice, warm in the 70s.  

I have just a couple of "downtown" pictures of Chicken that I will post.  

I hope that I can get the posts to publish, have had a little trouble with our hot spot, so may have to go down to the gift shop.  They have wi-fi.   Will try that
