And I would hate to do that climb from the Apalachicola River into Chattahoochee FL from the west on US 90.. it's a 7 percent grade of 200 feet climbing...
But that's the thing ... depending on which route Scott takes to Alaska, he could be encountering much greater percentages than that (7% isn't all that steep) ... and much longer climbs (like several kilometres).
