Description
Summary:Holiday Jaunt To Mt. McKinley. Holiday Jaunt to Mt. McKinley ANCHORAGE, Alaska, Aug. 14 — Well we had a day off today and nothing to do so we went flying with Friend Joe Crosson, Alaska's crack pilot who is a great friend of Wiley's and helped him on his difficulties up here on his record trips, and Joe Barrows, another fine pilot, in J. Lockheed Elecira. We scaled Mount McKinley the highest one on the continent, Bright, sunny day and the most beautiful sight I ever saw. a Good Democrat. Crosson has landed on a glacier over half way up in his plane and took off. Flew right by hundreds of mountain sheep. Flew low, over moose and bear down in the valley. Now out to visit Matanuska valley where they sent those 1935 model pioneers. Yours, WILL ROGERS.
