Dalton highway
This is Dalton Highway, one of the most isolated road in the entire US. It's over 400 miles long mostly in parallel to an oil pipe. It has very minimal infrastructures and serves mainly for trucks to transport supplies between Fairbanks and Deadhorse, which is an oil town right next to the Arctic Ocean.
Driving this road to the end has always been on my bucket list because there is a sense of being adventurous and insignificant involved when you are driving through vast field of wilderness and knowing that this is probably the northernest part I can drive to on the Earth always intrigued me so much.
This year I finally made it there and finished the entire road from Fairbanks to Deadhorse and back in 3 days. We camped for 2 nights and had all kinds of weather along the way. This image was taken from our camp at Galbraith Lake and although our camp was sunny, the distance mountains were stormy. Those little constructions to the bottom right corner are pump stations, which servers to keep the oil flowing in the oil pipe. This image pretty much summarizes the feeling I had when I was driving on that road.
