Eileen prepaired this map of our 1947 move to Alaska for her parents in England. We used a surplus 1943 Army Jeep, and 6 foot cargo trailer to make the one month drive of 4000 miles from Chicago, IL. Of this total, over 1200 miles was on gravel road, at speeds some time as high as 35 miles an hour. We were lucky, we only had 3 flat tires, and only two welding jobs, one on our trailer tongue, and one on the jeep hitch. Those were the days!!!! |
