This is a fascinating bend on that road. The road coming from left is a 15% downhill, makes a sharp left and goes up at 13% gradient. Imagine driving on this in winter where roads have sheets of ice on top. So a truck hauling huge load has to come down at a certain speed such that it is slow enough to make the turn and yet fast enough to maintain the momentum to climb up the 13% gradient. No wonder, the drivers feel what the road sign says.
We went about 10 miles north of Arctic circle. This location is on top of a hill. The time is around 2AM in the morning.
Look at the daylight.
The sunsets about 10% of the bottom and starts rising again. The dots you see are not sensor dust but the mosquitoes.
No wonder, Alaskans call them their state bird.
