Dominion(?) has been doing some serious power line work this year too and shutting roads down around there so their trucks have exclusive access.
Let us know how it goes!

Ive found road closures on dirt/fire roads to be very hit or miss. Sometimes being on a dirtbike they will let you squeeze thru.

Or they flip out at you…

Rode about 90% of the S500 trails on Sunday and Monday, and everything was open! Pleasantly surprised by this area, some fantastic riding sections (the optional DS route is a must), mostly dirt, some gravel. Highly recommend :thumbup:

Awesome! Thanks for sharing the great photos. I'll have to keep the routes around for a later date.
