".....But that will have some negative effect on the summer economy of Nenana and the barge lines operating out of there."
Yep.....I suspect YBL and the offshoots won't be happy.
"Minto is not known for being too friendly to outsiders, lots of good people live there, but much resentment toward Fairbanks hunters and fisherman driving out there to harvest game......"
Even if you explain you're from Los Anchorage and more or less stopping there because you're lost :) they're still not too friendly. :)
".... even at aircraft speeds, seems to go on forever, at times..."
At PA12 speeds, everything seems to go on forever. :R
Personally, I think the State of Alaska (as a government body and as a collection of people) needs to plan on what they'll do when (moreso than if) the oil money runs out. My personal preference would be that not a single mile of new road is built in Alaska, but regardless of that, I think the day is coming when Alaska will have to watch it's pennies much more carefully and won't be able to contemplate new roads.
semi-Rant over.
