hi artsled and smclelan !!!

0 c when i left !!

 

100.00$$ question steven !!! they built the roads last year...by forestry school !!! they started to harvest there last thursday ...before they were along the road for the 16 miles...starting from lake !!!

forestry school are giving course a few miles from there !!!

 

for john or gary !!!

looks like something is kaputt for me since this morning !!!

i tried to reply to artsled's last post 15-20x..including pics....no luck ....instead of '' choose files '' ...bottom left ...it was written '' loading '' !!!

then i went on general forum to post on the thread about '' qr issues ''....instead of '' submit reply...it was written ....'' reply to this post !!

few mins ago ...tried to reply to steven post ...clicked '' quote ''....but was still stuck with artsled post...his last one instead of steven 's one !!!

then ,instead of having troubles with those 2 guys...i decided to start my own post ....but still stuck with artsled post !!!

 

thx....

Hi JG

When you come to a hole like pix 6 do you check depth or just drive right thru?

 

:shok:

I have been there, he drives right through lol. Says something like "it's all between the two ears" 😜

hi all !!!

awesome day for riding !!! great weather...95 miles...even if there s not much...but there was more snow on that side than st fidele !!!

 

phil....4 wheeling with me...its like grooming ...must go forward all the time !!! hahhaa

seriously.....depending where i am...too far from camp or home at this time of year ...or close to darkness..sometimes i won t take the risk....at my age must start to think safety...i always ride alone !!

 

playhard...for sure it ll never get old....no problem for you guys...you travel tons...but there still some sledders who don t realize how much time we put into grooming and all the go here...go there...etc...specially the locals...

 

linda...pic with sunset and the road on the right..where you had seen mom + 2 calves on the road...we were coming the other way...logging road is 2 miles behind me...the moose in the clear cut ...on the right side of the road...there was 4 ...but way too far ...at least 1200'...and very close to darkness..
