A very quiet holiday weekend in
Seward prompted some folks who
were able to ride out the highway
when the skies cleared on Monday
afternoon.
The Cradle Rocker was nmonr;
those sightseers, and it was a well
worthwhile trip. New markers have
been erected at all streams on the
road so that no one has to wonder
what stream lie is crossing or what
lake he is admiring.
Tlie road is widened and im
proved considerably b e t w e e n
Moose Pass and Hope and there
is an increased amount of traffic,
< Specially as far as the construc
tion camp at Mile 58, which is an
interesting place in itself.
As one travels from Seward,
where spring is in evidence every
where, and continues into the
mountains up to the Summit Lakes
he rapidly emerges from advanced
spring into an area where the trees
are barely budding, the lakes are
still ice covered, and the air is cold,
then once again returns to spring
which is even more evident in the
Johnson Creek Valley and at Hope
than it is at home.
Turning a sharp curve above
Summit Lake wo were confronted
by two large moose, a cow and a
bull who were undecided for a
moment whether to dispute the
road with us They soon abandoned
the idea however and whisked
away into the brush before we
could get a camera into focus.
Three other moose were sighted on
the trip, one of which posed for us
at fairly close range, which de
lighted us no end.
Porcupines lumbered along the
road, rabbits f 1 i♦ tort here and there,
and we were thrilled by the know
ledge that in very few spots in the
nation can one take a ride of 75
miles and see so much of unadult
erated nature.
