Travels of Parka Padre
This photo album page of Donald C. Amos shows some interesting photos from his travels on the Alaska Highway as the "Parka Padre". Middle column top — the bus to Anchorage - has been labeled by Reverend Amos as "IN & Out — July 1943". The photograph just below depicts a bus and perhaps the rescuing bulldozer, but has no caption. The third photograph in that column shows Reverend Amos and his new wife amidst a convoy of trucks and is labeled "Mud Honeymooners". 1943.
