Dead end

In 1942 the U. S. government decided to carve a road from Dawson Creek, British Columbia to Big Delta, Alaska.[1] Called the Alaska Highway, it would stretch 1,422 miles over the Canadian Rockies, through the Yukon Territory, and into remote Alaska.  A recruiting poster made this promise to anyone applying to work on the job:

“Men hired for this job will be required to work and live under the most extreme conditions imaginable.  Temperatures will range from 90 degrees above zero to 70 degrees below zero.  Men will have to fight swamps, rivers, ice and cold.  Mosquitos, flies and gnats will not only be annoying but will cause bodily harm.  If you are not prepared to work under these and similar conditions, do not apply.”Read More »Slice: Making Jesus The Way, Truth and Life (Jn. 14:6)
