Today I found the most exciting, picturesque, motorcycle-worthy road in North America. Route 1, the TransCanadianHighway leaves from Vancouver and heads towards a fair-sized town called Kamloops. At one point the highway has two options, and the sign says [roughly] "Canyon Edge Route" or "River Gorge Route". Both sounded awesome, but I took the Gorge route because the other one was a main thruway. Every other place I've been to I opted not to turn around if I missed "that one fantastic shot". I would have taken six months to get here otherwise. On this trip I had to turn around twice! To complete the evening I went to The Keg Steakhouse, and had a top-three-ever prime rib.
Rather than stopping every 60 seconds, I tried to shoot a few while in motion. That quickly ended, though, after a passing truck's vacuum nearly sucked the camera out of my hand.
Kamloops is a hub for freight trains, and this trestle carries a line that comes in from the north.
