The season is starting to get a little crispy, I guess you could say. I have had to scrape my windshield a The Prez Sez few times now. On a posi- tive note, the temperatures Secratary’s Corner in my home have stabi- lized. Instead of the summer sun coming in a running the temps up to as high as 80, my furnace keeps everything at a reasonable 67. Certainly seems like a good time to 2013 Celestial Mead brew a batch to me. Good temperatures and a new GNBC membership year loom Competition ahead. It is a great time to have some fresh homebrew to share. Be a Hero The club will, hopefully, have some new blood in the leadership very soon. The only thing I need is volunteers! Elections are upon us. We will have one more regular Vintage Beer Sale meeting before our official elections in November. I intend to run again, as does my VP and membership coordinator, Ross. Not running again are Tim, the Club Treasurer, More Beer Less Effort and Kat, the Club Secretary. I am running, but that certainly does not mean that I do not welcome any challengers. All four executive positions are up for a vote, as well as two of the board member positions. I really hope that we can have a real election this Fermento’s Shameless Plug time, so set up! I need names! If you have questions, send me an email at The Beer Up Here Application [email protected] and I will help however I can.

The Seward Highway to Glenn Highway Connection (H2H) project is being undertaken by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) (Federal Lead Agency), the Alaska Department of Transportation and Public Facilities (DOT&PF) (Joint Lead Agency), and the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) (Joint Lead Agency) in cooperation with the Municipality of Anchorage (MOA) (Cooperating Agency) and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) (Cooperating Agency).

We will develop context sensitive design and mitigation approaches to avoid and minimize community and natural resource impacts and balance community values. The team will develop a project that best meets the purpose and needs for the improvement, incorporates measures to avoid, minimize, and mitigate adverse effects on important community resources, and preserves or enhances community values. Project Team Objectives • Develop a project that is consistent with the transportation goals of the Anchorage 2020 Comprehensive Plan and 2025 Long Range Transportation Plan. • Develop streets that integrate the travel needs of all users, including bicyclists, pedestrians and transit. • Consider land use goals and neighborhood values as part of the context integrated into the completed project.

Parks Highway Road Log
Bell’s Travel Guides Parks Highway Road Log Mile by Mile Description of the Parks Highway so you always know what lies ahead. Anchorage, Alaska to Fairbanks, Alaska Over twelve years and $150 million went into the completion of this route which extends through 358 miles/576 km of Alaska's most rugged terrain. Yet this highway need not be feared, because it is the state's widest and best year-round road. There are over 40 bridges to cross with the longest being a 1050-foot span of the Susitna River at mile 104. The most spectacular, Hurricane Gulch Bridge, at mile 174.3 is only half the length of the Susitna Bridge, but it is a breathtaking 254 feet above the white water of Hurricane Creek. Denali, the nation's tallest peak, lies about half way between Anchorage and Fairbanks and can be seen from both areas on a clear day: but there's a much better view from mile 70 at Willow. At mile 104 there is a good view of the three tallest peaks in the Alaska Range: Foraker, Hunter and McKinley, left to right. At mile 132.5 you enter Denali State Park. Denali "The Great One" is the Indian name for North America's tallest peak. Perhaps the most spectacular view from the highway of this 20,320-foot mountain comes at mile 134.5. The mileage figures in the following highway description correspond to the numbers appearing on the mileposts in place along most of the highway. The description begins in Anchorage and follows the route's 358 miles to Fairbanks.

BOX 112500 3132 CHANNEL DRIVE JUNEAU, ALASKA 99811-2500 About the Cover Susitna River Denali Highway The Susitna River Bridge (number 0687) is a 1,039 ft long structure built in 1956. This bridge is constructed of a 90 ft long steel stringer approach span at the west end, a 165 ft long steel deck truss, fifteen steel stringer spans at the east and a laminated timber deck throughout.
