Just one small point-out...hopefully not taken as a bash and hopefully I don't get bashed for posting: On the Glenn Highway page, reference is made to:
....."the "ghost forests" around the mouth of the Knik River are the result of the ground dropping up to 30 feet during the huge 1964 earthquake and saltwater drowning the trees."......
While the area around Portage is more well known as being a result of the '64 earthquake, that is what happened at the Knik River as well. I expect that "Roadside Geology of Alaska" will verify that, but I'm packing and haven't got time to check :)
