Alaska Expedition Chronicle at Valdez to Fairbanks
On a Valdez stop at 10 AM we met Slim Moore the head guide, loaded by road for Fairbanks 375 miles away. Jack Lamb photographed a 250 to 300 pound black bear at 150 yards as Slim planned bear driving up a shale slope while Dee, the steady marksman guide, prepared. Alaska reveals contrasts with army expansion, high pay for miners and youths, and a tide of lumber and tension toward the Japanese. Slim notes bears vary, some chargers, and hopes to photograph a charging bear while reflecting on Alaska’s uneasy wartime mood.
