The Upper Peninsula’s infamous Seney Stretch (eastbound), with a tremendous morning glow.
Seney Stretch : Via AtlasObscura: “The road between the towns of Seney and Shingleton in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan is a 25-mile, laser-straight shot through a vast swamp and wildlife refuge. It is an urban legend that US Interstate Highways have to have curves to keep drivers from falling asleep, or that one mile in every five be straight to allow aircraft to land. Michigan’s M-28 highway, completed in the 1920’s, runs through a spring-fed swamp that resisted human efforts to drain it for farmland. With no hills to contour around, this road was made straight as an arrow between the railroad town of Shingleton and the lumber town of Seney, once a raucous den of drink, gambling, and prostitution.”
