Snowmobile

January 2nd. John has been working on the RAZ and converting it to our "old people" Snowmobile. He added tracks on the back and ski's in front. We went up to Shirley Meadow and outside of 2 cross country skiers, were the only ones in the back country.

This thing is really the way to go play in the snow. He has even rigged up a heater!  Feet stay toasty warm.

We went up to Portgage Pass then headed off to the right.  We were almost up to the Urt, but about
2 or 3 miles from it their is a tree down across the trail. Someone has cut a chunk out and regular snowmobiles can get around but we are about 2' wider than they are. We had a chain saw with us and tried to widen the path but saw blade is not long enough. Just made some sawdust.

Welcome 2016

Alice and Marci hosted a wonderful New Years Eve party.  Great eats and lots of visiting and laughs. They had special guests as Steve V. son and his son were visiting.  Steve's grandson Cory is on leave from Boot Camp and fit right in with all the "older" group.  As usual none of us actually made it until midnight!
