Alaska trip contrasts for Oklahoma family travelers
The Dick Sarber family and their two daughters Gay and Ginger return from an 11 day Alaska flight tour in their Co Manche 250. They visited Medford Oregon to see Dick’s father, Eugene, Victoria B C and Totem Pole Park. They flew seaplane from Annette Island to Ketchikan and back, fished the Situk River near Yakutat, toured a crab packing plant, and observed Kotzebue’s 80 degree heat and near endless daylight. They saw Mendenhall Glacier in Juneau and the rebuilt Anchorage after the earthquake, plus Unalakleet Eskimo scenes with doglike transport and handmade garments. They logged about 5,000 miles, from the Arctic Circle to Mt McKinley, noting Alaska’s vast contrasts and wildlife.
