    All these countries who have eliminated God from choosing who rules are as "royal" as my parakeet. God said it's up to him to annoint all rulers. The bloodline of these rulers goes back to pharaohs who migrated to Europe with the same intentions to pass themselves off as gods. These "royals" began eliminating God from annointing them by claiming birth rights to titles of 'gods', kings, etc. A birth canal does not replace an annointing by God. All these kids born into a rulers house does not automatically make the child a "royal". The pharaohs taught that only the bloodline of the 'gods' could rule, so they married their sister or father, the Europeans married cousins or other 'rulers'. The public won't buy that lie any longer so the "royals" go lenient now on who to marry, then automatically title them with whatever they want. None of these people are Duke's, Prince's, Earls, or Ladies. It's all rubbish & Liz of England has 72 billion pounds & 6,600 million acres of land that she suckered out of all you idol worshipers that she serrrrvvvvsss. Whose serving who? Whose kingdom are you worshiping in?

    Excellent footage and nicely captured history! We first explored Myra Canyon Trestles in 1989 after the rails and ties had been removed. The original wooden trestles were magnificent to see and walk across without decking or handrails. Love that we have this spectacular piece of the KVR history to still enjoy!

    This story far from ends here! I wish to commend Ed Kruger and Monashee Adventure Tours for keeping this line alive!!! I walked this line many times as a youth. Today i still have dreams of being there. That was when the tracks where still there! Kinda of a surreal! We would drag big rocks to the middle and send them off into the creek/river below! It was like a "Stand by Me" moment in time, only we stood a good chance of being the dead body as trains were still running then! Luv this!! Thanks!!

I also cycled the KVR many, many times. Great memories, other than when we lost many of the trestles in the 2003 fire. That broke my heart after all the work that had been done.
