Going Watson Lake to either Atline or Teslin or Whitehorse to Skagway or Haines would get the freight into the Pacific quicker than going to Fairbanks then Anchorage/Port McKenzie.
The Valdez route is faster too.
I was not suggesting that the freight go to Anchorage, just that it would be a scenic trip. Hell, they would ALL be scenic trips. I’m pretty familiar with the topography and navigation challenges in Valdez. There is a lot of infrastructure already there with the oil terminal. That is the deep side of the bay which would make a lot of sense compared to the town side. Just don’t ever, EVER let Joe Hazelwood drive one of the cargo ships out of port (LOL!).
