Alaska Day 13 To Chicken & Eagle Via Auto

In summary I would drive to Chicken again but not Eagle.  Just isn’t worth it.  Everyone agreed – no Eagle again and would not recommend it. 

We started off at Fast Eddies for breakfast.  Then onward to Chicken.DSC_0015-003 DSC_0018-003 DSC_0022-003 DSC_0025-003DSC_0006-002 DSC_0007-002 DSC_0010-002

Eagle was a bummer.  Nothing touristy there, no shops, not even some place to eat!

350 miles round trip and about 300 on dirt roads.  Plus we even ran into some rain on the way back.  It will be a trip to remember but not for the tourism but the lack of it.  The moose was the great thing of course.

See ya…
