Kamloops

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.
