Although ya never say never, after today's ride on the Arvon and Peshekee, I'm sure I heard the fat lady singing on top of one of those ridges we we riding over!
So just in case today's ride was the last one, thought I'd go through the 100's of pix I took over the winter and pick some of the best o'the bunch.
This page will probably take a bit to load but figured would be better to put them on one page instead of breaking things up. So if you've got dial up, go grab a favorite beverage and come back and things should be ready to go.
DSL or higher users shouldn't have to wait but just for a couple of minutes at most.
GETTIN' A LITTLE AIR!
George, George, George of the jungle--WATCH OUT FOR THAT TREE!!
DIDDO!
Fixin' the damage from the next pic.
He just crawled down and was expecting us to just lift him back up by the skis. A few good kicks and he sled was ready to hit the woods again! Rode the rest of the day with no probs.
Social stop.
ANOTHER group..same activity.
H-E double toothpicks of a power line ride on the Baraga Plains.
Digital zoom (I know they suck) of an RMK that had a LITTLE difficulty in climbing the other other side!
Same powerline but that little Kitty Cat in the upper left side of the pic walked up and down that hill without missing a beat.
A well-earned chow break after playing on the powerline from H-E double toothpicks!
The guy waving is one of America's best on a two-week break from Iraq. He couldn't wait to trade the sands of Iraq for the snowflakes of the UP!
Yami gettin some air in the boonies behind Herman!
Kitty Cat's claws weren't sharp enough to hold on the log pile without falling off.
But the same Kitty Cat had no trouble grabbing the snow underneath its track!
OOPS! Snow was a little, okay, A LOT deeper than I thought!
The little RMK that could, and did go every place the big boys did and THEN SOME. Almost went for a swim but a little ski adjustment and a one-hopper over the open water and back on solid ice!
Mountain Viper sinking its fangs into the snow!
Escarpment looking west toward Alston, Pelkie and up toward Houghton.
This GMC Jimmy was ot in the middle of nowhere and judging by all the snow on it, looked like it had been sitting all winter...and yes, we THOUGHT about how it would make a GREAT JUMP!
There's that little Polaris again! Check out that custom cooling system up front complete with duct-tape reinforced hood!
A shot looking toward the Peshekee on April 5. Still plenty of snow...but boy what a workout getting to and through it!
Even that fancy, former racing Kitty Cat was declawed several times on our final day...Everybody, no matter what you were driving, got caught by three feet of white mud at least once or twice. Lots of smoking belts too...but it was such a beautiful day on Saturday that no one complained at all all day!
Everybody lent a helping hand all day long!
Good thing the snow was deep. Bob is holding up his helmet AFTER it was run over by another Yami. Snow packed in there pretty good! That's not snow behind him, that's snow from the top to six inches hanging out the bottom!
Last major hurdle of the day and probably the season
!
Playing on a Peshekee swamp on March 30. Won't be seeing something like this again till December 08 or January 09.
Hope everybody had a great season. I know even though we ended up with about three feet less snow this year in the Herman area than last year, it was still a year filled with a heck of a lot of fun!!
