Parmer of Natal recently returned from a seven-week, 6300-mile trip that took them through Canada and Alaska. They went through Fra zier Canyon and up to Dawson Creek which is now quite a city due to the extensive oil drilling in the vicinity and extending past Prince George. Small towns for merly one grocery store and fill ing station size have boomed. Being ardent fishing enthusiasts, they enjoyed stopping at numer ous lakes along the way. One of their stops was at the Ace High Ranch on Watch Lake. They also stopped at Lake Kaluane in Yukon Territory, one of the largest lakes which is 83 miles long. This is in the region of Sheep Mountain, home of the big horn sheep. They were able to see several from a distance. They drove through some of the "bush country” so-called because nothing grows there but small, scrubby brush. They noticed old trading posts now fallen into ruin, along the way. At Fairbanks they visited the college and went through the mu seum on the campus. Everything on display is Alaskan in origin. They were impressed by the size of a grizzly bear there, said to be the largest ever taken. Also, they played golf at the northernmost golf course in the world and were presented with certificates of that fact. Moose and bear are apt to play along with golfers. One fellow told them to look out for his friend on number four. Instead they met him on number six. The “friend” turned out to be a big moose. They also went bowling while there. The bowling alley had a huge Alaskan scene, handpainted, covering the wall overlooking the lanes. They had also bowled in Dawson Creek and were surprised to find the alley using only five pins and small balls, softball size, without finger holes. Up near the Artie Circle at Fairbanks, the never-setting sun gave them an uncanny feeling. Just when they thought it should be getting dark, the sun would pop up over the horizon again. They found it difficult to sleep. They drove to Valdez in Alaska to see the glaciers. They saw the Worthington but because of the fog were unable to see the Co lumbia glacier. They enjoyed nice weather ex- espt on their return trip they ran into a record rainstorm at Dawson Creek. Temperatures reached 94 degrees at Fairbanks and 100 de grees on the return through the Frazier Canyon. However, they were told that last winter at Fair banks it was 70 degrees below zero for 17 days. The road included 1200 miles of dusty rock. Travelers were ad vised by their car radios to use their headlights because of the thick dust. It was the season of the big thaw when they were traveling and they had to wait at times for the highway crew to put in cul verts, fix bridges and make other road repairs. In pulling off the road it paid to be cautious because unless the shoulder was well rocked cars would sink into the soft tundra. Graders were stationed every few miles along the roads. Also another use for the graders at certain times of the year was to scrape off the thousands of snow shoe rabbits which meet their death on the road. The Parmers took extra tires and gas along but found gas sta tions numerous although gas was expensive. Fortunately, they had little trouble and only one flat tire along the way. They had the good luck to be parked along the road near Fork Junction, the U.S. Customs out of Canada, when their trailor house was recognized by Mr. and Mrs. Homer Gwin and Mr. and Mrs. Otto Cantwell on their way to Kenai. They all enjoyed the visit before they continued their trip to Kenai to see the Hoyts. The Cantwells were also going on from there to Kodiak to see Raymond Pearl and family. They saw many moose, includ ing an albino, and lots of fox, lynx and wolves but did not see even one bear. However, they camped one place which had been visited by a bear just before they arrived and they saw the damage he had Oernonia Eagle THURSDAY, AUG. 16, 1962 3 done. The Parmers think the many in teresting people they met every where were the best part of the trip and, paradoxically, the most expensive item in their opinion was ice.
