S pump Posted August 28, 2009 Report Share Posted August 28, 2009 (edited) Groomer, I have a nice SLR but the digital is so quick and easy I end up using that most of the time. The first two that say Maine were actually in Connecticut, the same night as the rainbows, The clouds looked like a wave coming, was a cold front after the rainbow. The Maine pictures were from Long Lake in Harrison Maine, the mountains are Mt Washington and others in New Hampshire 60-80 milres away. hope to see you on the trails this winter.............

S pump Posted August 30, 2009 Report Share Posted August 30, 2009 Don't really remember where that was on the sled but I do remember thinking how beautiful the area was.

groomer Posted September 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2009 took those pics about 2 hrs ago ,just outside town .mom + calf . i forgot sunday,since a few weeks here ,there s guys who are still looking for petroleum underground.they came about 9 miles east of my camp and i know they are somewhere not too far on the south side and along the truck logging road. right now they are doing trails in straight line,clean the trails i guess with kind of a chipper.super clean.there s little flags everywhere. then , they are going to dig ''carrotts '' in the ground .in some of those holes they are going to put some dynamites.then ,booooom !!! with the shock wave ,they are going to see where the petroleum is and how deep it is. groomer !!

smclelan Posted September 24, 2009 Report Share Posted September 24, 2009 That is good news for the town. Did the landowner change their mind about letting sleds go through? I would think the gas station there in town would be happy to hear this news. Good work, to those that made it happen!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
groomer Posted September 24, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2009 that s what im thinking about .they probably received lots of bad comments and bs and a few tbk !!! ha !! ha !!....last season ,they probably changed their mind .
