RIBBON ThRuUUh I
Cutting northward through the wilder- |
nos8, a ribbon of roubhly-hewn. roadbed |
marks the first step in th© proposed ISC' jj
milo Dillingham-Aleknagik Rond, n oulmia- |
ation of fifteen years of sporadic efforts |
by interested residents, |
At present it is little more than an |
* engineers-surveyers out* but oars have I
geared dovm to scale its ”straight-up- ‘
straight-down” stretches, toford its open §
streams and to jiggle over its oordur«y
swnmpys—helpless but to yield to the temp-"
tafcion of "buzzing” the most exciting de
velopment that has hit Dillinghpm for a
long, long time.
This crude slit through miles of heavily
timbered lpnd will open up new trapping
areas and make available hundreds of beau
tiful summer camping grounds incensed by
typical Alaskan scenery*
The road as it is now is just the be
ginning, It could easily slip back into
the ARC files and be forgotten for another
fifteen years, unless the people of Dill
ingham prevent itl organizations and in
dividuals should plug the 1inishing of
this D-A Road whenever the opportunity pre
sents itself. Do not allow bhis desirable
project bo abandoned*
