Chicken 🐔, ALASKA, 🧀 Cheese and A Can-Am???

What do Chicken (Alaska), Cheese and a Can-Am Spyder have in common??? Well, you'll have to watch this fun video to find out! We enjoyed a great night of camping at Chicken Gold Camp in Chicken, Alaska and were blessed to meet some awesome folks, Debbie and Mike, from Oklahoma and Jim from Wisconsin, the official owner and CEO of Chessehead Mining Company!
Thank you for watching our 200th video on KZread!! That doesn't seem possible and it wouldn't be if you weren't part of this with TommyG and myself. Thank you! Hope we are still making you smile! 🤗😄💜💙

    Winner Winner Chicken Dinner ! What a wholesome video. Jim from Cheese 🧀 Head Mining seemed like a great guy. "Anything coming?" "Nope" 😂 That's one of many good things about Alaska, I'm sure, is the isolation.

    You betcha, Larry! If you search Chicken Gold Camp on Facebook, you will see some folks who have lucked out and found some bigger chunks of gold there. They have a "one ounce" club and some cool pics. Hope you are staying warm in VA...it's cold and snowy here! 💜🤗🙏🏻

    Hi Wendy! Thank you... This was our last town in Alaska before we started our Trek home. Yes, there were concerns with the gravel roads because there was so many miles of them and not just in Alaska also in the Yukon Territory. If you watch my Alaska video that I did before this one... the one about striking it rich and gold fever, you will see at the end on our way to Chicken, that my aluminum GoPro mount broke on my handlebars because the roads were so rough. I just had to take it slowly. I could not keep up with Tommy on his two wheels because of the only 4 inches of clearance on the Spyder. I'm thankful and we both are thankful that we didn't get flat tires and I am thankful that I had no issues with the belt. 🙏💜🤗

    Hey there, Rusty! Let's just say, I would not recommend a street bike in the interior of Alaska or in the Yukon in Canada. We are grateful there weren't any issues. I believe there is only one Can-Am Spyder dealer in Alaska...more than one off road dealer though. We had tools with us, a jump start pack, air compressor and tire plug kit and are extremely grateful we did not need to use any of that stuff! We also put brand new tires on before we left home (it's 4300 miles just to the border of Alaska from our house) and we each had our bikes serviced before we left. I also shipped an oil kit to a friend's house at North Pole and was able to change my oil there. So, we did some preventative maintenance but still...I worried about my belt with all that gravel. Thank you! Guess what? I had two almost headache free days in a row...I am thankful for that. Can't wait to get back out there and ride some more!! Have a blessed day! Hope you and your wife are out there enjoying some rides! 💜🤗

    Well, Roberto, there is a story about this...Google it but here is what I found and we had been told this in Alaska as well: "In 1902 the local post office was established, requiring a community name. Due to the prevalence of ptarmigan in the area, that name was suggested as the official name for the new community. However, the spelling could not be agreed on, and "Chicken" was used to avoid embarrassment" and that's from Wikipedia. Well, maybe the CEO struck it rich. If you look up Chicken Gold Camp on Facebook, there are some pretty cool pics of folks who have joined the "one ounce" club!

However, being all specifications of our products are Copyright and Proprietary Trademarked propertY, therefore Can't Not be disclosed to the public. With that being said, we can tell that it doesn't weigh as much as it looks like it should, well edible portions. First there manY, manY feathers that are " puffed out ?? " Tha are there to protect them from natural predators. Then feet are unable to be eaten for the most part, but Can be used as weapons, in the right hands. 🥴. Then the head of course, have some parts considered as delicates. Then skull the can be mounted, to show off or scare off, of course that's a priceY additional option. Thanks again for Your Interest.👍👊 We hope this is helpful to inquiring minds. 😎🇺🇲
