Drive to beautiful Hatcher Pass in Anchorage Alaska. Along Little Susitna River, 10 miles from Palmer Alaska and about 45 minutes' drive form Anchorage Alaska.
BACK IN THE VERY EARLY 70'S THAT ROAD WAS ALL GRAVEL ALL THE WAY OVER TO WILLOW......USE TO BE A ROADHOUSE AT THE CURVE HEADING UP THE MOUNTAIN PALMER SIDE .....THAT PLACE BURNT DOWN IN THE LATE 70'S BUT IT WAS A SUPER POPULAR STOP BACK THEN. NO PLACE IN THAT ENTIRE AREA THAT I HAVE NOT LAID TRACKS ON.........FROM THE HIGHEST TO THE LOWEST MOUNTAIN......WAS AT THE ROADHOUSE ONE AFTERNOON WHEN A TREMENDOUS AVALANCHE COVERED THE ROAD NEAR THE ROADHOUSE WITH A 50 FOOT AVALANCHE......IT RATTLED AND SHOOK THE GROUND VIOLENTLY FOR SOME TIME.....PEOPLE WERE STRANDED FOR OVER 24 HOURS UP TOP. THANKS FOR GIVING ME BACK SOME BEAUTIFUL MEMORIES. 75 YEARS OLD NOW.......23 I THINK BACK THEN.
Mr. McFarlane, thank you very much for the comment. I am glad we brought some pleasant memories back for you. We had not been there for several years, and we were surprised at how many changes happened there.
