Your misinformation is in regards to the Repair and extent of damage. Which is what I addressed in my post. You are not in Alaska is my guess. Nor do I suppose that you may be aware as I am how fast and efficiently Alaska can fix roads.
And while your wifes expertise may be impressive I think one should be careful about urging people NOT to go somewhere based on limited LOCAL knowledge.
Lastly Alaska Tourism brings in about 2.42 Billion per year. You can bet on it that those roads will be ready for the season.
