THE last ride of the 2010 2011 season

One last ride, that is what I was thinking for most of last week. After checking with John, and Lori Sleeman about snow depths in the woods, the forecast was for sun and 60 degree temps, I decided I was going to do it. I threw the sled in back of the truck Thursday night after work, and headed up Friday morning. I met Dave and Lori Sleeman, from the Wildlife Refuge Cabins, at the Mosquito around noon, and away we went. Saturday we were joined by Jim and Mike Lehman and their bud Bill. 114 miles is what I ended up with for the two days. Thanks to Dave and Lori for the hospitality, and letting me tag along!

How does that old commercial go? $190 is truck gas, 525 miles on the truck, 80 bucks in sled gas, riding in April in the U.P., PRICELESS!

I'm impressed. I would have never guessed there was that much snow still left up there. Thanks for the pics.

What a great way to end the season!

Nice Pics! One reminds me of the old saying "You can lead a Doo to water but...." (I can't remember the rest).
