Matthews’ Alaskan Trip (Continued from page 12) had plenty of good food—until it gave out. Suddenly we realized that all we had left was the case of sardines. Our budget had been ripped to pieces by the expensive repair bills, and we had to watch every penny from here on out. We also found ourselves paying 70 cents per gallon for gasoline and we were barely able to make 100 miles on a tank of gas, On account of the steep climbs and muddy roads. Often we would climb for over two hours, most of the way in second or low gear. We could usually find a nice spot to park for tha night beside a mountain stream or at some old abandoned construction camp. Here we would camp down for a nice supper of sardines and moun tain water. Frankly speaking, we got mighty tired of sardines. The farther north we went, the higher rose the mountains. The road passed through beautiful val leys, surrounded by snow-capped peaks. Natural lakes were in evi dence on every hand, fed by the melting snow from the mountains. We passed through little Indian villages and saw many Indians still living in the little story-book wigwams, which was quite a sur prise to us.- The little Indian chil dren always gave us a friendly greeting as we passed along. We could drive until 10:30 or 11 at night without turning on the truck lights. It never got dark along the highway. The sun set about 9:30, and rose at 2:30 in the morning, and it was twilight the rest of the night. We saw a few wild animals. These included a big old moose and her calf, several wolves and' hundreds of jack rabbits, along with many varieties of birds. Sev eral times we drove for long dis tances through burned-out forests. W'e camped one night in a huge tract of timber that had been burned over. We could not hear a sound. There didn’t seem to be a bird, animal or even an insect in the entire vicinity. There were little roadside places about every hundred miles where the weary traveler can get gas and food and often minor bar repairs, all at very high prices. The camps are very rough, with no modern comforts. We usually tried to car ry enough spare gas to get us by in case of emergencies. One night we decided to drive a little later than usual and to make up time we had lost on account of the bad road conditions. We fig ured we had enough gas to get us to Campagne, which, according to our guide book, was a little trad ing post. We had to climb a par ticularly steep mountain and our gas was exhausted just as we pulled into the little village of Gampagne. We drove up in front of the general store parking lot, and made camp for the night. The next morning, we found to our surprise; that, the entire vil lage was deserted. A plaque out side the store informed us that the place had been abandoned since 1910, and that it was inhabited only one day a year when the ani mal rodeo was held there for old times’ sake. We finally had to flag a passing motorist and beg for gasoline to get us to the next station. It is the unwritten law of the Yukon and the Alaskan Highway that you have to help a motorist in distress. We could not even stop to powder our noses without someone pulling up beside us and asking, “Need, any help, Mac?” This is probably a good thing, for the entire length of the highway is strewn with the carcasses of blown-opt auto tires and tubes. Every few miles there was an old- automobile that had to give up the ghost—a casualty of the rough highway. We pretended not to notice all these reminders of other travelers’ misfortunes, but in wardly we winced every time we passed one. We finally reached the Alaskan border. The American Customs House is located about 150 rhiles inside of Alaska at a place called Tok Junction. Some of our rough est roads were just before we reached the Customs office. Some boys from West Virginia had to push us up a slick hill. They held our trailer straight to keep it from sliding over the side of the moun tain. We offered them a can of sardines as a small token of friendship, but they politely re fused the offer. A few miles later we became hopelessly stuck in knee-deep mud while passing through some new construction and a bulldozer had to pull us out, but finally, ex actly two weeks and 5,100 miles from North Carolina, we pulled into the U. S. Customs office at Tok. We cleared with Customs and as we started to pull away, the guard muttered something about “somebody around here must be carrying a cargo of fish.” A few minutes later we hit the hardsurfaced road of the Glenn Highway that leads to Anchorage. We breathed a deep sigh of relief. We had conquered the mighty Alaskan Highway. We threw bur shoulders back and raised our heads high with feelings of pride and self-esteem. All of a sudden we heard a fa miliar “putt-putt” noise. There, speeding past us on a motor-bike, was the 17-year-old Denver high school boy. We hung our heads, put the truck into low gear and sped down the highway behind the mo torbike at 25 miles per hour.
