Pies and a promise inspired three women to bicycle the Alaska Highway in 1959
A slide presentation of Kachemak Bay may have inspired the trip, but it was pie a la mode and coffee that kept Ella Hitz and her friends pedaling their bicycles through wind and rain along a dusty road toward Alaska.

Great story!! When Tom and i hitchiked we brought our jungle hammocks i think, or maybe an old tent that was not working out very well. When we got to Dawson Creek, the start of the Alcan highway, we went into a sporting store and bought a used tent from a slick salesman in a shiny suit. He told us it was made from Egyptian sail cloth. Actually it ended up being a good tent, and kept us dry on the rest of the trip.
Is Tom a grandfather yet?
