Journey Through Alaska Yukon to British Columbia Lands
The narrator recalls a 460 mile drive to Burrveshland near Big Delta Alaska and beyond into the Yukon and British Columbia. He notes arctic plains give way to spruce stands, extreme gas prices around 63 cents, and large jet fuel pumping along the Haines pipeline last winter. Environmental damage from fuel runoff harmed fish and ducks, with warnings not to discard cigarettes.
