So sad. I wonder why they did not mark the cables with the orange balls.

While it isn't a certainty, there's a really good chance that large dams have high voltage electrical infrastructure around them and the surrounding valley, including transmission lines.

Yep. We land by the “Fugitive Dam” in NC every now and then and that thing has high tension wires all around it.

Yep. Think every time I’ve landed there it was an MVC. Just like that Huckleberry Knob Trail on 143. Anytime we get called in to that one, it’s someone that wiped out on their bike. Only takes like 15 mins to get them to UT.

I ride those roads all the time, I hope to never need your services.
