OVERLAND TO SEWARD
By C. K. Snow.
Seward. Feb. 15, 1 !• 1.1.
I urrived here Thursday, the 13th.
after a never-to-be-forgotten trip of
18 days. It was one continual outing
from the time I left Ruby till I arrived
in Seward and I enjoyed every minute
of it. The trail was a little heavy from
Boorman to Ophlr and for about seven
miles over the summit 49 miles out
from Seward. In all. 1 used the snow
shoes about six hours. There was
about SO miles on the South Fork of
the Kuskokwim where there was ab
solutely no snow, and here the nigger -
heads were quite bad and pretty hard
on a sled, but as soon as one is over
Rainy Pass there is plenty of snow.
Vs for Knik the lay of the trail is
fully as good as one could expect over
land trail to be. but after leaving Knik
.me encounters about 1*1 miles of bad
trail around Tumngain Arm. although
they tell me the present route is much
better than over the Crow Pass, which
trail was used up to two years ago.
Tho railroad. which ever way it goes
to tlie coal Held, will eliminate this bad
portion of th * trail.
I found good doghouses at every
roadhouse and received I lie most cour
teous treatment at every stopping,
place. For about 100 miles in the vi
cinity of Rainy Pass meals are $2,
bunks $1. At most other places the
price of meals Is $1.25 to $1.50. The
meals were excellent, with an abun
dance of wild meat. Along the South
Fork of the Kuskokwim and iti the
Rainy Pass section there was plenty
of mountain sheep on every cache, and
you may be sure mutton is in groat
demand by all travelers. Several road
house men asked me which 1 preferred,
moose, caribou, bear, mutton, rabbit,
tlsh or bird. I though that was going
some.
At Anderson’s roadhouse. Rainy Pass,
there la a register kept of all travelers,
and 1 found that I was the ninety-third
traveler who had passed this season,
not counting the mail carriers I pass
ed there January 29
Taken all In all 1 cannot see any
legitimate reason why this trail should
receive the "black eye" It docs In man;
who pass over It I was undoubtedly
luckv as far as weather conditions arc
! concerned: but even so, these weather
conditions must affect an overland
trail, and for mv part 1 believe (Ids
Setvard-Yukon trail has been too open
unjustly condemned, often perhap- by
parties who do not know what to ex
pect on an overland trail in Alaska.
For scenic beauty it l>v far excels any
other trail 1 have traveled in Alaska,
and for this one feature alone I would
not have missed this trip even though
the trail were as bad as it Is often re
ported to l>e, and much more expensive.
If you love grandeur of nature—Its
canyons. it mountains and its might -
ness—and love to feel the thrill of
their presence, then take tile trip by all
means: you will not he disappointed
But if you wisli to travel on "flow
ery beds of ease” and wish to snooze
and dream that you are a special pro
duct of higher civilization loo finch ad
justed for this more strenuous life
don’t. Rut ninv Rod pltv you for vou
will lose nn« thing worth living for If
you have the opportunity to make this
trip and fail to do so.
