is just like Houston without the charm. They do have the Mother of All Shopping Malls, however, complete
with rollercoaster
and a replica of Columbus's ship
.
I wasn't sorry to arrive at the Alaska Highway
Work on the highway began just four months after the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor. Pentagon strategists decided that the next logical Japanese move would be to invade Alaska: "whoever controls the Aleutians controls the Pacific." Before obtaining Canadian consent, the project was announced in Washington and troops were sent to Canada. Two weeks later, the Canadian prime minister announced his government's approval of the project without alluding to the Americans jumping the gun.
The scenery
often leaves something to be desired.
There are lovely interludes at hot springs
before you get to the might Yukon River
in Whitehorse, a great place to meet women, at least compared with the preceding 1000 miles of the
Alaska Highway. You'll have to read Chapter VIII to learn more
about Kaarin and Erika.
