From GIRDWOOD Fire Dept. To Hope, Alaska is about 62 or 64 miles AND over Turnagain Pass, With weekend traffic, and four road construction sites.

ALASKA is a "HARD COUNTRY for OLDMEN". (But if you live it wide'ass open, balls'to the wall, the pedal floored, full throttle, it is a delightful place, to finally just sit-back and savor those memories while sipping Tequila).
