Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Alaska I hate having one road into town

I sat at eklutna for about an hour and a half this morning. I figured it was an accident but then it started coming out about a car chase, car was torched, shots fired, somebody was shot ( heard it was a trooper but not sure). I knew it was gonna be a while. Turned around and came home, which a day at home with the kid is better than any day at work.

Try island living

The other option is living in town

Glad a cop wasn't injured. You would think people would learn not to shoot at a cop.

Just read the guy had a bat, stopped running from the troopers and then advanced on the troopers with the bat raised. Tasers didn't work and a trooper popped him. Another case of suicide by cop?

One less stupid person in the state, it's a good start.

You could live here and have about 100 different ways to go and live with the crowds of idiots in the oppressive heat....

I think I will pass, thanks though.

Who wants to bet that this guy will be a perfect citizen and friends and family will say that there is no way he would do this, or some crap like that.

.... just a misunderstood youth who was out wanting to play baseball....

Ditto your dislike for one road to town. I moved off of a penninsula type area and later moved our office out of there partly due to being "locked in" once in awhile when a wreck etc. would close off the only way out.

Heres a Photo from above. Glad to have this day off.

Wow, I was on the Kenai last week and was stopped twice on the Seward hwy. I feel for residents that have only a two lane road into most of your areas!

...and if it's not a wreck, it's an avalanche. The only road to the KP was closed for 4 days a few years ago. They had to fly milk into the Kenai airport from Anch.

Then there's the SOBs that drive 50-55 on the 2 lane and speed up in the passing zones. I had to go to Anch on Weds. and there were a-holes that would not move over in the passing zones. I had to pass in the right lane.

I was this // close to road rage.

I never understood that either about driving slow and then speeding up to 80 at a passing zone. It's kinda like going through a construction zone and heaven forbid there's an orange cone and they gotta slow down to 30. I was never attacked by an orange cone but I can see where it can screw you up.

I'd rather drive that road in the winter...

I like to get in front em, then slow down to 40-45

I like to see them getting smaller in my mirrors!

Give a man a fish and he'll be back for more; teach a man to fish, and he'll stay the hell outa the passing lane.

Seems like some of that oil money should be going into making more 4 lane highways. As a nonresident visiting your great state for the first time, I don't presume to know why, but I am sure you have been asking your elected officials for wider roads, what is their answer?

Enviro wackos will never allow it, besides they enjoy spending the money on ferries that are built but dang, no one worked out the logistics or a bridge that will never be built but they sure will spend the money researching it.
