I am well aware of that road, as I have been fortunate and blessed to have seen it as well, as well as every corner of the state for professional and personal reasons. What scares me is the mentality or even the common "knee jerk" reactions to all the issues including this one. The bottom line is that many folks out there want to pave everything in sight, sterilize wilderness to the level of making it "Disney-esque". The other issue is the funding at times that we are desperately in trouble with our financial institutions (in this case Federal) and you remind me of an easterner that would rather come in to our  Last Frontier and change everything in sight.  I personally have seen the landscape all over the north and it changes every single day. Rivers will flood, mudslides will ALWAYS happen and other natural changes are going to occur. This  park is like everywhere else and there is little we can do to stop these natural occurrences from changing the landscape.
