Description
From Wikipedia: The James W. Dalton Highway, usually referred to as the Dalton Highway and signed as Alaska Route 11 is a 414-mile road in Alaska. It begins at the Elliott Highway, north of Fairbanks, and ends at Deadhorse near the Arctic Ocean and the Prudhoe Bay oil fields.
Once called the North Slope Haul Road (a name by which it is still sometimes known), it was built as a supply road to support the Trans-Alaska Pipeline System in 1974. It is named after James Dalton, a lifelong Alaskan and an engineer who supervised construction of the Distant Early Warning Line in Alaska and, as an expert in Arctic engineering, served as a consultant in early oil exploration in northern Alaska. The highway is the featured road on the third, fourth, fifth and sixth seasons of the History reality television series Ice Road Truckers, which aired May 31, 2009 to present.
Now that I got that out of the way. "IT'S CALLED THE HAUL ROAD" It's September 7th, 2014 at 1:56:12pm Sunday afternoon. Michelle Blackmore and myself are listening to Merrill Haggard and I am thinking if you think trucks got a story driving this road to Prudhoe you should hear mine driving a car. The highway, which directly parallels the pipeline, is one of the most isolated roads in the United States.
