SAYS TRAIL
SHOULD BE
BLAZED
‘‘Why don’t the people of Seward
and Anchorage get together and d
mand that the tiral between Xenann
and the coast be marked, blazed or
something, so that those who hit it
from the interior will not get lost arm
forced to siwash it for nights while
trying to find their way to some itnd
house? The trail is the shortest one
from the interior to the coast and
scores of men will be hiking out all
winter, but they are going to have a
hard time. It appears to me that th» ;
Ala. ka Railroad Commission should
got busy and do something."
This is the straight way Eric No!
son has of handling out the points,
right on the head, regarding the trai j
irom Nenana towards the coast.
And Eric Nelson knows who4 hr is
Udking about, in company with Jack ,
Brevig, b * nude the trip out from Ne
nana and arrived in Seward last Sat- ^
urday night. Nelson says that fast;
time can be made if guide posts were |
put up and the trail biased as it !
should be.
41 We lost our way on the riiv:J
Broad Pass, and although within four !
miles of Golden’s roadhouse, there is |
nothing on the Pass to show the trnv- j
eler which way to go. We hiked |
around four days on this bleak divide. j
knowing that a road house wa« neai
but not knowing in which direction io !
go. Take for instance, a large guidi
post denoting the right direction and
tvithin an hour the musher would be
at his roadhouse, “said Mr. Nelson to
day at the Hotel Overland.
“The railroad will v. >thin a lev.
weeks he out a good distance f- jn
Nenana, in fact to the '’oal fields at
Lignite. Then the miHher hits tin
tra'l to Marino’s roadhouse. The next
I stopping place is at the Jack rive
Road House then the trip begins
acr'V« the Broad Pass. It appears thst
nothing has been done on this p H or
the trail worth saying anything
about. One travels back and fo'th.
across creeks and rivers, trying to
keep on the old horse trail. Then no
the divide you go and there one sticks
A guide post on the divide could easi
ly be ejected and point the wav to
Golden’s roadhouse. Once at Golden's
the next stopping place is at Su”i
vans, on the middle fork, Indian river
and Talk*.etna are the next stopping
r>lnce<; and then into Seward over the
railroad.
‘‘People on the coast keep saying
‘why don’t the mushers come out bv
tho Broad Pass route?’ Get busy and
help bla^e the trail and no one will
have any kick about the mushers com
ing out over the short land route. ’
