    Well, ticked another one off of my to do list. I had always wanted to try the powerline road from Applegrove to Passmore.

    This road is in the southern part of BC. If you cross on the ferry from Needles to Fauquier, instead of turning left to Nakusp, you turn right to Applegrove. It comes out in Passmore, on Hyway 6.

    one KTM 950 Adventure
    one Honda Transalp
    three Suzuki V-stroms
    one KTM 690 SM
    one BMW 650 X-country

    These bikes were all loaded up for camping so the handling was not the best!

    We met some dirt bikes and quads on the trail heading in the opposite direction.

    I love riding the powerline roads. It really amazes me some of the places those lines were strung into back in the day and the roads made to service them.

    :clap
