Last weekend we made a bike packing tour, nothing say´s more "grab some rations" :mrgreen:

We started pretty packed...

Around dinner time we came to the former "Limes" wall, built by the Romans in 100 A.D.

Man, what an awesome adventure. I love how much history you guys have out there, and the photo series is excellent. Makes me want to hop on the Kettle Valley Railway around here and get it done. Maybe next year, when my leg is healed up.

I love it when they turn the old rail roads into hikes trails
