We're Going to Alaska

The story of the two years of preparation and 38 days of travel required to move a family of 7 children, two screech owls, three dogs, two uncles, and two cousins from Northeastern Ohio to Wasilla, Alaska in the Matanuska Valley. The trip was made in two vehicles, a 1949 Lincoln sedan, and a 1947 Ford 1 1/2 Ton truck pulling a four wheeled homemade "camper". Ages of the children ranged from 2 to 15.
