Up there, no doubt. I got my single-engine sea and my tailwheel endorsement in the same cub. Good times flying.

Less than a week to fix the road in Alaska:

Sounds more like a Corps of Engineers job than DOT...

What they didn't say was the repairs are just band aids. Much of this will have to be redone in summer.
This little 7.2 was NOTHING like the '64 quake.

Still, the rest of the US seems to be amazed. We call 3 seasons of the year "road contstruction time".

One can do anything with the proper amount of epoxy and $100 bills. Sometimes, no epoxy is required and it's all about the money.
And summer up here is Road Construction Time. Most everything had just wound down from the late season work. Road construction has been very lucky these past few years with winter holding off longer than it used to. Right after the earthquake hit, before notification from AKDOT, the guy who runs the QAP asphalt plant started warming up the plant in anticipation of work. Since it takes a couple days to warm up a plant from cold shut down, he had the edge on everyone else.

Not the best day to drive to Valdez.
ROAD CLOSURE: The Richardson Highway is closed from mile 18-42 due to an avalanche at mile 39, this is in Thompson Pass. Heavy snow is falling.
UPDATE at 8am: Crews estimate the avalanche is 50 feet wide and eight feet deep. We are working to clear the road and the avalanche debris. The Richardson Highway should reopen today between approximately 4-8pm.
