Which is very close as the plane flies - in my tiny taildragger I could be there in half an hour - but as the car drives, it's all the way around the ocean arm and through the mountains. 155 miles or so, <I>if</I> the road isn't closed by avalanches. <BR/><BR/>And we already had the road shut down last week by avalanches, prior to a warm spell followed with snow. Theoretically it's open, but I refuse to try in my tiny econocar. There's a reason that if it's further than eighty miles away, I fly.On a Wing and a Whimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00754595334684845895noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-29427973812764134112009-03-30T12:18:00.000-05:002009-03-30T12:18:00.000-05:00If the mountain decrees that you stay in Anchorage...If the mountain decrees that you stay in Anchorage for longer than life will allow you, you might look into catching a ferry to Juneau and flying out of there.<BR/><BR/>Enjoy AK, it's one of my favorite statesGenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12839802024718595388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-32529016960723645892009-03-30T10:11:00.000-05:002009-03-30T10:11:00.000-05:00You might see about stopping by the shop of the au...You might see about stopping by the shop of the author of "The Whiteboard:"<BR/>http://www.the-whiteboard.com/index.html<BR/>which, while paintball might not be your cup of tea, is highly amusing in many ways. His site is down right now, something with the way he updates, or I'd give name and confirm that he lives somewhere around there.
