Trailblazer Posted February 7, 2017 Report Share Posted February 7, 2017 Love the rabbit story JG, you have a wilderness way with words. Pic of the older times is a true reminder of the pioneers that have carved out the trails we follow today. I wonder in 20-30 or so years will we be thought of as pioneers as well, turning over from 2 strokes to 4 strokes, riding trails that are today and will not be tomorrow. Will we have the stuff our precedents had? We think we are at the top of our game today with sleds and trail groomers but in the yester years they thought the same and in 20 yrs from now they'll be thinking the same too. Will our generation be the next generation of pioneers? doonali 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
