I'm ready to go all I have been thinking about lately is the sound of my 900 running up a mountain, and maybe getting another chance to go down the mountain on my stomach while holding onto the ski loop and handlebars.

Well they had their first avalanche a few weeks back. I suspect some of the snow was left over from last winter. They road/trail out to "Top of the world" was finally cleared of snow in July. We will be fine. the cams in town do nothing for what is there. Same with Tog. cam.

I suspect we will get there on the 22nd. We will be riding for 5 days, 23rd to 27th. Cooke is a 25-30 hour drive for Doug and I, depending on weather. But one thing for sure we will be there. Staying at the Super 8 and Hanging with Bear Claw Bob.

Winter_Time,

I'm almost your neighbor here in Lake Villa. We went out with Jacob and the crew last year to Ten Mile and had a blast. Going again this year end of March / start of April. Next year, we want to go to Cooke City as well. So, keep us posted on how the trip goes. Do me a favor, tell Rick that the Arctic Cat Guy just bought that "$50 helmet for his $5 head".


RevKev, have a great time. Hope your summer went fast.
