I was supposed to sleep in Fairbanks, but I called and canceled my hostel. They told me it was too late and I would lose the money. I said no problem. I stopped and got gas in Fairbanks and was on my way towards Dawson City, not knowing that the Canadian border would be closed by the time I got there and I would end up sleeping in my car from 8pm until 9am the next day when the Canadian border reopens.
I got on the freeway, and the first quick stop was the North Pole to see Santa.
The next stop was Chicken, AK, where they told me I was too late and that the border was closed. Well, I was sad but took pictures and continued the last 1 hour drive to the border where I saw the gate closed and others sleeping in their cars. The time was about 10 pm. I spent a good 30 minutes or more taking pictures and walking around because I was not sleepy at all. Then I got into my car and was able to fall asleep until 5 am when I woke up. The border opens at 8 am.
Instead of going to sleep, I spent my time taking pictures and walking around.
I finally parked my car here and went to sleep
I woke up at 5 am and drove 2 miles to the border and was first at 6 am. I stayed there until 8 am. By that time, this couple pulled up behind me, and we started having a conversation until the gates were opened.
