If you're old enough to know what the title means, then --- you're old. Anyway we are in Beaver Creek and now the title should make sense. We left Chicken and drove back to Tok and headed south on the Alaska Highway. We left the US and crossed into Canada with no problems and arrived at the border town of Beaver Creek, Yukon Territory, which is not much more than a few stores, an airstrip and a Holland America owned motel and RV park.
A group of us went to Buckshot Betty's for lunch and spent the afternoon resting after the driving ordeal that is expained in the next episode. Lots of the shops and restaurants have names for colorful frontier characters. Betty still runs this place and has it adorned with pictures of herself wearing a buckskin outfit. She also sells CD's just like everyone else. The food is just okay, what can you do to a tuna sandwich and tomato soup???
Tonight we are treated to a family style BBQ dinner and show at the Rendezvous Theatre. I loved this show last year and was anxious to see it again. Jeff is lukewarm about it, but is always ready for dinner. The two leads are very talented and I'm glad to see that they are still here performing. The male actor is in his 17th year and his female costar in her 7th year. It is a basic revue with dancing and singing and the story is the tale of the gold rush and settling of the area. Our favorite part is where he has cabin fever and sings a Tom Lehrer song "I Hold Your Hand in Mine." They also serve Baked Alaska for dessert so that makes up for any sins.
