I have been just touring north along the George Parks Alaska Highway and route of the Alaska Railroad enjoying the scenery at low level. Just north of the town of Healy (and Healy River Airport) the paved highway turns bright crimson. Is this a glitch, bug, and or intentional? Anyone else see this? Maybe it is a caution area for road work in progress! Interesting indeed.

Also no joy! To bad the volcano is not erupting. That would be really sporty !

Thank you for the great comparison pics. ' Hope to see more of these hidden goodies!

The structures, both the private residents and the commercial buildings are of a very strange design. They are very well detailed (lights, doors, mail drops, electrical junction boxes, cable connections (?) windows with curtains) but with a very distinct architectural flavor -- as if representative of some foreign country. They have an almost ethereal quality. I wonder about their origin!

I have a set of the Alaska Sectional Charts (1:500,000) that I use while flying VFR. The scenery seems to be fairly accurate for navigation exploration. It adds to the flight realism. Real fun!
