I'm the....I'm the....I'm at the top of the WORLD!!

Dear Blog,
Today Mrs. Slessor insisted I write about my trip this past weekend. So here goes;
We wanted to leave Whitehorse nice and early on Saturday morning in the truck. However the previous night my truck DIED! And I had it towed to the garage, so instead we left a little later in the day in Kelly's car (after Gertie {Kelly's car}got an oil change). The drive up was pretty good, I'd never been to Dawson. We stopped in Braeburn to get a giant cinnamon bun! And continued on our journey. The trip up was pretty uneventful, however we did see two deer on the way. We got to Dawson and checked into our hotel, Bombay Peggy's! Which used to be a Brothel (is that spelled right?) back in the Gold rush days. We ate at this AMAZING restaurant called Antoinette's and it was literally the best meal I've ever had! Then we went to Diamond Tooth Gerites (This is what Kelly's car is named after) where I won and lost about $30. I maintain that I could have walked away with more money but we were playing the $.25 slots and I was feeling really lucky. I would have won a lot more money had we been playing the $1 slots or even some Blackjack! We took in the show at Diamond Tooth Gerties but left during the show because it sucked pretty bad. And went back to the Pub at Bombay Peggy's to watch some live music. The girl singing when we walked in was amazing! But she wasn't playing she was just singing the one song. The girl who was supposed to be singing Chrissy was okay. We stuck around for awhile and had a couple more drinks, then back up to the room, to sleep for the night.
The next day we got up early and went to go see Dredge #4 which isn't much to see and the place where Gold was first discovered in the Yukon which also isn't much to see. And so we started our trip to the TOP OF THE WORLD HIGHWAY. Now you should know that neither Kelly or I had ever been up on THE TOP OF THE WORLD HIGHWAY. While up there Kelly tried to imitate Leo Dicaprio in "Titanic" and say she was the King of the World but it wouldn't make sense so instead it came out like; "I'm the....I'm the...I'M AT THE TOP OF THE WORLD!" Now TOP OF THE WORLD HIGHWAY is the most beautiful drive I have ever been on with some of the most amazing sights. And since there is no way for me to explain what I saw I will stop there and will post pictures as soon as I can.
After the TOP OF THE WORLD HIGHWAY we ended up in Chicken Alaska. Which is a very interesting place. Basically downtown Chicken consists of 4 buildings a souvenir shop a bar a restaurant and outhouses. There are no flushing toilets in Chicken Alaska or telephones. There are 15 permanent residents. We had lunch and then we were on our way. We wanted to make it to Beaver Creek that night to be back in Whitehose for Monday. So we drove like crazy. Once we hit the Alaska highway on the Canadian side the road became .....tricky. I did what I like to call, "creative pothole manouevering". The road stayed like this pretty much until Distruction Bay which is past Beaver Creek. We stayed in Beaver Creek for the night at the Westmark, where our room had no phone or TV. Beaver Creek.....not that interesting, however they do have mini golf until 11 PM. We decided not to partake.
We got up early Sunday to head to Whitehorse. And because of "tricky" road conditions we added about 2 hours EXTRA to our trip home. So now we are home, and there is still no truck (we're waiting to hear from the garage) and that's about it.
So Mrs. Slessor that is my Blog and I'm sticking to it.

Things that happened on the trip
- I had the perfect moment - Harry Chapin playing on the radio, sitting with the love of my life, looking out over the most amazing views on either side of the car on the top of the world highway.
- I came up with the best name for a gorge.....Curious Gorge.
- I ate the best meal I'd ever had.
