About the Book
Volume 4. Alaskan Land Cruise, 62 pages, 57 pictures.
The Chispita books are written on the premise that an adult reader can use the experiences of Pita to teach/enhance the life experiences of a growing child as well as the fun of games, puzzles and adventures that the world has to offer.
In volume three “Alaskan Cruise” Chispita ventured to
Volume four takes little Pita and her companions from Seward Alaska to Fairbanks by bus, train, airplane, jeep, raft, paddle wheeler and foot, with a stop at Denali park where they marvel at this land of the mid-night sun with it’s many and varied story’s.
From Seward we travel by bus to Anchorage, along the way Pita visits the old folk’s animal home to make new friends, at Anchorage we board our domed rail cars and venture north to Denali National Park and Preserve, where we stay for several days as we tour the preserve by bus, jeep, airplane and river raft to interact and photograph the wild life, and we do mean “WILD” as our bus is bumped by a mad Caribou and little Chispita learns from Chuck the Marmot and Lobo the Wolf how to play a good joke.
At the preserve it’s hard to say what is the most fun, but the flight by mule plane and sight seeing Mt. McKinley from our twin aircraft as well as the three day photo/camping tour with a professional photo guide, were but a few of the highlights.
The adventure moves on to Fairbanks Alaska ending with paddle wheelers, 100# cabbages, gold panning and yuking up at the Alaskan pipe line. All punctuated by graphic photos, “enjoy”.
