Parmers Enjoy Extensive Trip
To Points In Canada. Alaska
Mr. and Mrs. W. A. 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

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.
You may be on the right track
but you’ll get run over if you just
stand there.
