Jeading to the face of Mendenhall Glacier is re-opened today, accord- ing to Division Supervisor A. w. Blackerby, Forest Service. A new parking area and turn- round about 300 feet from the pre- vious end has been constructed by the U, S. Forest Service. The ma- terial in the new parking area 1s quite loose. A few days of rain and traffic will pack it down and make a firm driving surface. Until it is packed down, cars and buses are cautioned against stopping in loose sand off the road. When turning to keep their rear wheels on the solid foot= ing in the roadway. Road Drops Six Feet It was necessary temporarily to eliminate the former parking area| because ice from Mendenhall Glac- ier was still under the surface. This is particularly noticeable in the center, where the road bed has dropped as much as six feet. Con- siderable sloughing on the edge of | the fill undermined the guard rail. The drop in the road surface was accelerated by recent rains. The surface in some places lowered as much as four inches in one day. Drivers are requested to ro- ceed slowly and cautious!y, pattic- ularly when meeting cars on this spur road, since the shoulders are | still soft. Nev Registration Booth Pedestrians can walk from the . king area on up to the vicinity the new registration booth in- ctalled by the Forest Service. A foct trail has been built up over the rock nunitak to the east of the registration booth. This gives spec- tators a fine opportunity to view and photograph an active face of Mendenhall Glacier. This trail continues about one-half mile over to the old parking area on the Nugget Creek portion of the Glacier THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE—JUNEAU, ALASKA 111 Carried on 'Alaska Coasfal, Thursday Trips ] | A total of 111 passengers were carried on Thursday's flights by Alaska Coastal Airlines with 30 carried interport, 48 departing Ju- |neau and 33 arriving.
