Chicken, Alaska

On our way to and from Dawson City in early September, we passed through the very small town of Chicken, Alaska.  It was formerly a gold mining towm.  It is now a place to eat and get gas along the Taylor Highway..  Legend has it that the miners wanted to name the town Ptarmigen after the Alaska state bird. However, no one knew how to spell it so they called it Chicken.
