  • The Bachelors' NRHS Convention Adventure, Pt. 2
    BSRA Entertainment Report for October 3, 2015 LONG FORM (for historical record) Entertainment Report for October 3, 2015 October 3, 2015. The Bachelder's NRHS Convention Adventure Part 2. Leonard and Nancy Bachelder attended the 2013 NRHS convention in Alaska, making a 6-week trip through Canada and Alaska, of which we saw part 1 in March. Part 2 picked up as Len and Nancy rode in a 15 passenger van from the Yukon Territory into Alaska. The first photo was of the customs house at Poker Creek, Alaska, the most northerly land border port in the USA. Then we saw Chicken, Alaska, once somewhat populous as a Gold Rush town, but now of estimated population 10 to 20 (7 according to the US Census of 2010); it was supposed to be named Ptarmigan, but people could not agree on the spelling, so the US Post Office had good reason to believe that people in general would not be able to spell the proposed name, and refused to accept it; thus, the town wound up with its current name. Gold mining still takes place in the surrounding area, but the population of Chicken is occupied with operating the town as a tourist trap. Next stop was Fairbanks, with still over a week before the convention, so Len and Nancy went to the University of Alaska, where they found out about removal of Aleutian Islanders during World War II. We also saw a monument in downtown Fairbanks to American pilots who brought airplanes to Fairbanks for Russian pilots to pick up for use during World War II.
