A regular old day on the roads of Alaska


Some people were injured in this crash so it may be too soon, but, people, where else but Alaska would two trucks, an SUV and a boat collide and close a two-lane road, the only one into the state's biggest city from the south, for hours? To top it off, it happened at a popular pull-off along the highway where a pipe sticks out of the mountainside delivering clear, cool mountain spring water for those who want to stop and collect it.

All that was missing was an airplane. Oh, wait, in Alaska the driver has to watch everywhere at once, even the sky. In another area of Anchorage, a float plane apparently missed a lake and hit a house, landing in a residential street. No one was hurt in that one. (KTUU photo)

And. it's only 4 p.m. on a sunny Sunday when lots of people are returning to town from a weekend or a day chasing fish or other Alaska adventures. Watch this space.

Overall it makes me glad I took the back trail with the four-wheeler taking trash to the transfer station rather than chancing roads with more traffic.
