Actually, the first ride of the season is almost always to the Vansville. The reason is to pick up the trail permits (they sell them there). In fact the local DNR if they see me early in the season headed that way without trail permits on, just wave and smile because they know I am on my way up to get them.
As for the registration. The 2010 is a dealer demo, so will not have them, but the 2009 should and was an oversight on my part. I did buy that sled outright in the spring, so I need to get over to the SOS and get the registration. Thanks for pointing that out!
