I was driving to Palmer, the seat of the Mat-Su Borough government, to tell the planning commission that I supported the management plan for Fish and Numbered Lakes. Numbered Lakes is our back yard in Talkeetna. The folks up there came up with a plan that protects the unique natural values of the area (springs, wetlands, salmon habitat) while allowing low-intensity recreational use. The commission meeting met at 6:00 so I left Anchorage early to miss the traffic. With extra time, I took the 'back way' on the old Glenn Highway. The view from the bridge over the Matanuska River was so good that I turned around to take this photograph.
And the plannning commission recommended that the assembly approve the plan. What a great evening.
