Post and Rogers Plan Dampened By Alaska Rain
Clouds and rain along the Alaska coast dampened Wiley Post and Will Rogers plans to take off for Skagway or Nome in Post's red monoplane. Rogers bought extra rain gear and joked about waist expansion while Alaska locals kept busy diverting attention with events. Rogers noted political figures in Anchorage and paid his own expenses, while Mrs. Post arranged travel plans back to Los Angeles by air for her husband’s return from the Alaskan-Siberian tour.
