3 Old Guys; Daily Update
- Thread starter gary_in_neenah
- Start date
You are welcome. The synch of the copy and pictures was a bit of a challenge, but we've had a lot of positive feedback so it's been worth it.
I'm not a fan of eggs, certainly not the pickled variety but all other vegetables, yes I love me some pickled everything! My Dad grew up during the Depression and I was told, they ate the entire cow from the nose to the tail. As a child, I recall Dad enjoying pickled Tongue, Pigs Feet, and probably some others I've forgotten over the years. The Mrs. and I also created our own brand of pickles from our garden that we share with friends and family during the holidays. People seem to like them!
My pickled eggs are purple. I out beets and onions in with them. Delish!Not much to share with the JohnDee folks today other than a couple of pictures. The guys are taking a couple of days to recuperate and rest from their long journey. Looks like they've got some plans for Saturday as noted below with a ride with the locals.

I could be wrong but that looks like a jar of Pickled Eggs in that jar.
Thanks, but no thanks!
I'm all in on that mix wiscrev, just like my mom made them! And gary, you and wife Ruth Ann, seem to be just as Kathe, and I with refrigerator pickles! 
I plant, grow, and pick em. Kathe, and granddaughter Maddie do the two different kinds of pickling. Relatives, and friends rave for them. Love that tag, 'Damn Fine Pickles'!

Dream Achieved. Destination Reached.
If you’ve been following along, you know this journey began back on February 13th in Grand Rapids, Minnesota, with just enough snow to make the trip possible. And from that first mile, with a little luck and a lot of determination, the trails opened before them. Every leg of the ride was met with adventure, camaraderie, and an undeniable love for the sport—something these three have embodied every single day.
Across 3,667 miles, through the best of what North America’s winter wilderness has to offer, they’ve done it again setting a goal and seeing it through. And tonight, surrounded by good friends, over well-earned beers and a well-earned meal, they celebrated not just the miles, but the memories made along the way.
You’re invited to join 3 Old Guys ride across North America on their final leg of this journey on Saturday. Paul, Rob and Rex will be passing the Western Sno-Riders “ Warm Up Inn “ around 10:45 am island time finishing at Arctic West LTD followed by a meet and greet on Saturday, March 8. You’re welcome to join them along the trail.

Followed all your posts. Thanks for sharing with the rest of us.
I'm an " old guy myself " but there's no way I could pull off this feat as well as the Alaska trip.
Congratulations to the three old guys, you truly are ambassadors for the sport of snowmobiling.

These guys are quite the celebrities with the locals. Here's just a few pictures to share today.
Lucky Dog!
Riding with a local.
Party like it's 1899.
And as a bonus today, a few slang and common place terms and phrases when visiting Newfoundland...

- Shitbaked
- Scared, terrified.
- Example: “When I saw the moose charging at me I was shitbaked.”
- Arse
- Ass – it just sounds nicer when we say it.
- Example: “Look at the arse on d’at!”
- Skeet
- You say “white trash” we say “skeet”. Aggressive, uneducated, unruly people usually associated with loitering and petty crimes.
- Example: “Some skeet held up Marie’s Mini Mart again last night.”
- Sleeveen
- A scoundrel, a rascal
- Example: “Get out of here you little sleeveen. You’re after stealing my lunch.”
- Chummy
- A thing which you may or may not know the proper word for. Along the lines of thingamajig, whatsit, or doodad
- Example: “Pass me that chummy would ‘ya?”
- Streel
- An unkept person. A bit of a mess.
- “You’re not leaving the house like that are you? You look like a streel.”
Good Night from Newfoundland!
That's absolutely perfect garageguy! No BS about that!
The 3 Old Guys are Comin' Home today. A couple of pictures of the guys at Winnipeg International this morning.
Arctic Cat is shipping their machines and sleds home later.
Should feel good to sleep in their own beds tonight, not to mention the "home cookin".

Gary, like others, I’ve eagerly awaited each daily update and can’t thank you enough for taking the time to keep us updated on the guy’s daily progress.
These guys almost made it look easy but it had to take a huge amount of planning and the ability to switch to “Plan B” if the situation demanded a change. No question, they are pros when it comes to these sledding adventures.
From what I can tell, they had no major issues with the sleds, which speaks well of the quality and reliability. Yes, they were new, but racking up almost 4000 trouble-free miles in a short time, right out of the box, is a pretty good test of a sled.
For me, this trip has been an inspiration. Thanks again!

not only the 4000 miles, but doing it pulling sleds with several hundred lbs. of gear! Impressive for sure. I would love to see the parts list of what they had to repair or replace. Belts come to mind, but what else?
I would have guessed very little. The article did say Arctic Cat is shipping their sleds home. Assuming the sleds held up, which they did, it would be great publicity for a company that cared (ie anyone but textron)
