I fished Prince William Sound for 13 summers. Some of the Islands just outside of the Valdez Straights were harvested by the native tribes. There are no roads and the trees were cut and logged out by helicopters. It was said they lost money. Once harvested the Indian tribes traded the islands for land on the mainland. Logging in Alaska may well be a dangerous as the gold rush was. Most died who tried. The one positive note about building roads in the wilderness of Alaska - it allows us mere humans access to some of the splendors of Alaskan raw beauty. What's that worth - Priceless! If the logging broke even and it built logging roads to the inner 16.7 million acres of the Tongass it would be a worthy venture. Alaska is after all "The Last Frontier". Man can only appreciate the world after he sees and experiences it. Wouldn't it be a shame if we didn't have roads in the Humboldt National Park , Yellowstone, or The Grand Canyon. For what it is worth I know many sourdough Alaskans who are totally PO'd about Clinton making the Wrangell,St. Elias National Park Reserve America's largest park. It used to be fertile hunting grounds for many Alaskans. When it became a reserve, it could no longer be hunted. A sin and a shame to those of us who really do get out into the wilderness, enjoy,and appreciate it. Everyone has a different view! For my late 20's and 30's I hunted Elk in Colorado on old logging roads that got me to edges of deep mountainous elk ranges. It was big country,where I learned how not to get lost in deep wilderness. It served as a great prepper for many hunts in Alaska, where one truly can perish if not experienced about hunting in big country. I think every American should experience that opportunity, if they so choose to learn. Bob
