big Milt, I was there on motorcycle in 1996. Very dangerous. I thought we were going to die at least three times. There is no speed limit. Huge supply trucks for Prudhoe Bay come blasting through at high speeds and throwing gravel, and almost blowing us off the road. We would scramble to get off the road before they came. We were coming down one mountain, 15% grade, straight down, no switchbacks, in a pouring rain, and then it turned to sleet. I thought we were going to slide off the mountain and die. I prayed to every saint I could think of, not many because I’m Presbyterian.

Sillybug, the man in my avatar pic did that, too. From Toronto to the Arctic Circle on a touring bike. From reading about your experience and his, I know this is a place I don't need to visit. ;)

big Milt, I think that it’s pretty obvious why it’s so dangerous in the description of the distance and conditions!!!
