North to Alaska with a no-account cat
(Book)

For over fifteen years, Herb Williams wrote a humor column, titled "Life and Times" relating to topical subjects from adolescence to Viagra. It was published in three different newspapers. Now he turns his attention to an old love - the last frontier; a ninety day, 5,000 mile motorhome journey from Vancouver, British Columbia to Fort Macleod, Alberta, by way of Alaska and the Yukon. With his wife, Sharon, and a "no-account" cat named Pickles he traveled virtually every major road, and several minor ones, throught the interior of the vast land to the north. In the same humorous/historical style as Bill Bryson and Dave Barry, North to Alaska with a no-account cat becomes a testament to the pristine scenery, colorful inhabitants, frontier-like towns and exciting adventures found in the land of midnight sun. Share uniuqe adventures in places such as the Sign Post Forest, in Watson Lake, Yukon, Halibut Cove, on the Kenai Peninsula, Alaska, and Prince William Sound near Anchorage, Alaska, home to twenty-six glaciers, the most spectacular - Meares and Columbia.
