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.
