We had very little by way of public services including road clearing. We did that for ourselves. The neighbors worked on it together.
We always managed to get to work. Maybe this weekend I'll go driving around up there and take some pictures for ya. |
jackal, that would be so cool! If you see a little A-frame cabin with a great view of the Inlet.......

I *think* I was just driving around in that area, but don't know for sure. If it is the area I'm thinking of, supposedly there are now some nice garage sales in that area on the weekends :D

However, I can confirm that the rental agencies really aren't worried about people going to Exit Glacier. If you get in an accident or a rock chip on that road, it's possible they may use the fine print to give you grief, but most of them probably don't even know it's a gravel road (I didn't!).
In fact my traveling companion remarked that it's probably one of smoothest pieces of road we've found in Alaska. Ever. |

Yup, jackal is correct. Give this road 12 months and it will be garbage again.

Having just spent a week in Alaska, let me chime in here.
I heartily recommend Simon and Seafort in Anchorage. A little pricey, but the fresh salmon was among the best I've ever had. Anywhere. ^ I also highly recommend Portage Glacier. I really enjoyed that tour. My son and wife did take the Price William Sound tour and they found that to be more interesting than the Portage Glacier tour, but I can't compare the two. Exit Glacier is definitely worth a trip. Funny that I was just there and I don't remember if the road was paved or gravel. :eek: And to the OP, if you're going to Alaska, you must, MUST, get up to Denali National Park and Preserve. Spend 1 or 2 nights at one of the cabin or lodge sites, I stayed at the Denali Cabins off of exit marker 229 and it was fine. And you must take the bus tour through the park. It was like being on a safari, with all the wildlife we saw, and all up close. Except, of course, for the Dall sheep. :D Enjoy Alaska! |
Quick question regarding ANC. Can one transit between the North and South Terminal without having to re-clear security?

Long answer.....NNNNOOOOO :D There is a walkway being constructed, but is is my understanding that it can only be accessed landside. :td: :td: You can take a shuttle between the two, but you do have two security checkpoints to deal with. |

If you arrive in one terminal and depart from the other, you only have ONE security checkpoint to deal with - no security leaving the first terminal :D
