We travelled in a brand new International Travel All crew cab vehicle that the Scout Master purchased and planned this trip of a life time. We slept in two-person Army pup tents that we sewed in a canvas floor with dental floss every night in a state / national park / level piece of land along the road every night and made eggs/ bacon/ oat meal breakfasts and cooked a dinner at night. lunch was ham sandwiches, fruit and cool aide drinks. Some of the young scouts learned to drink coffee in the morning and afternoon like our scout masters did to keep sharp driving and following the route maps.

The Hot Springs was are favorite place to relax and enjoy the hot springs water pools and the lush vegetation.

We drove to Fairbanks, Mt. McKinley ( now Denali Park), walked on the artic tundra, saw the Northern Lights, read newspapers at 11:00 pm at night and saw moose, sheep, moose and running brown bears.

We drove to Seattle, WA and went the World’s Fair, ate in the Space Needle and enjoyed the Fish Market. Crossed east to Youngstown, OH on RT.66 and many more adventures on this “once in a lifetime” trip that I still talk about and remember even now at 74 years of age
