On why public roads should be open :
Dust, not smoke from the Caribou Hills Fire, hung thick along Ninilchik’s Oilwell Road Tuesday evening, stirred by a long line of traffic. With the 55,265-acre fire 61 percent contained, cabin and homeowners who had been evacuated from the area June 21 were finally allowed into the area. Some of them were thrilled by what they found. For others, the news was not so good.

Roads 200 feet wide should be at least cleared every mile on Fed land. The land should not be kept as Public Access Easements but should be dedicated roads. Any Fed or State public access easements on private land should be either dedicated or vacated.
I would see to this if by some Cosmic Catastrophe I should find myself Pres, and I would also withdraw the USA from the 1967 UN Outer Space Treaty and open the Land Office for space mining claims and homesteads.
Then I would go to lunch.
