Sorry, not great pics!

One of the great things about my job is that when we are asked to help out at another office, and the 'company' vehicle is not available, we get to use our own transportation. And get reimbursed for using it! Of course if I was smart I would use the car, which gets significantly better fuel mileage than the Tiger. Where is the fun in that, though?

So, last Sunday, I headed east over the Monashee to work in Nelson for the week. Had to catch the ferry over the Arrow Lake at Needles.

Then over some of the most exquisite riding roads anywhere; no need to thrash along at warp factor 9, just a never ending succession of bends. (Note; Mustang's pegs make the ride more comfortable, but the toes touch down that much sooner in the twisties!)

After a week in Nelson it was back home today the other way, through Castlegar and a stop in Grand forks to conduct a class 1 pre-trip exam. Here is the Brilliant Dam, just east of Castlegar.

And the highest 'pass' of the ride:
