Chicken Alaska day 2

It started raining yesterday afternoon. We decided we hadn't had time to adequately explore the cultural assets of Chicken, so we signed on for another night. There is only one place in town that has a flush toilet. It is heavily advertised. There is a 4 holer behind 'downtown', called the "poop coop". The Chickenstock music festival brought in 700 music fans, most of them camped in tents behind the stage, reminiscent of the festival's namesake. There are quite a few, for real, gold miners here. Chicken Creek is still producing gold. It was first discovered here in 1890, that's before the Klondike gold rush. Tomorrow we should be able to use our cell phones. The city of, Tok Alaska, is supposed to have coverage. We are headed for Fairbanks but probably won't make it tomorrow.
