"In all the 50 states you won't find a fun-filled adventure like it!"
"These were the adventures . . . fighting, laughing and brawling their way from Seattle to Nome!” Sam (John Wayne) and George (Stewart Granger) strike gold in Alaska. George sends Sam to Seattle to bring George's fiance back to Alaska. Sam finds she is already married, and returns instead with Angel (Capucine). Sam, after trying to get George and Angel together, finally romances Angel, who, in the meantime, is busy fighting off the advances of George's younger brother, Billy (Fabian). Frankie (Ernie Kovacs) is a con man trying to steal the partner's gold claim."
This was a promo for the movie "North to Alaska" Some of you ‘Old Timers’ may remember it.
Well, this isn’t exactly what we had in mind. I’m sure that the landscape has changed a little in the 50 years since this movie came out. And we are not as ‘frisky’ as we once were, we can leave out the fighting and brawling and I don’t know about Angel – but, I’ll bet that there will be big adventure with lots of laughing and we may find gold! Join us on a ‘Cruise and Land Tour’ of Alaska. We will begin talking about this at the end of February. Very little details yet. Summer months of 2009 or 2010. Probably +/- 12 days. Open to all. Input and feedback always welcomed and considered. Stay tuned……

"North to Alaska" is one of my favorite movies....I loved the mud fight! Don't know if we can go or not but sounds like a good time.
