THE PLACE AT THE END OF ALL ROADS The place at the end of all roads was called Glenora, a long abandoned gold rush site beside the Stikine River. The dirt road ended on the rocky shore of the river. Past that point for hundreds of miles to the south, west and north, there were no roads and no people until the river finally reached Alaska, 150 miles away. It was there and beyond where we lived and raised our family for many years.
