Good Days bring Happiness

&
The Best Days are Lifetime Memories
​

Here's a place to post your experiences on a snowmobile, the good, the bad, and the unfortunate. If you've ridden any amount of time on a sled, you've encountered some of each. Some are humorous, others that tested your patience. Let's hear what you have to say....

Guess I'll go first to break the ice, no pun intended. It's Christmas Eve and Dad has a new Arctic Cat delivered. My brother and I rode that Panther around the buildings, in a circle, with the family dog chasing us at every turn, barking his head off. Expecting a "Silent Night" the neighbors were not amused....

I believe it was the winter of 79/80. Lived between Marquette and Munising on M28 on Lake Superior (about a mile from Lakenenland). What is now trail 417 was still abandoned rails then. Hopped between the rails and took off towards Marquette until I ran into an abandoned switch. Fortunately only the spindles bent.

The photos are my driveway back then. This drift appeared overnight. That happened all the time back then. Local guy would clear us out with his front end loader for a case of Strohs.
