The internet is full of the “BEST OF” anthologies from any category one wishes to direct their voyeuristic energies. I thought, what the heck, I’d make a slight deviation from the norm and indulge in a self deprecating list of photography-related mistakes.

It seems that the James Dalton Highway, or the Haul Road, has grown increasingly popular as a segment to add to one’s motorcycle roadway achievements.
