We got enough snow today to cover the ice and you'll be able to trail ride without burning up the slides or overheating. As for the roads they may need a little more help. There's more snow on the way this week.
This was posted a few days ago by someone. But it wasn't a hot link to it. So here it is again.
Saw a very interesting video about the rise and fall of this sport thought I’d share.

Thanks for all the updates ! It looks like we made it past the doom & gloom.
ReplyDeleteThat video is required viewing.
ReplyDeleteThat was very interesting! Thank you for sharing
ReplyDeleteWatching the video certainly didn’t lift my spirits about the sport.
ReplyDeleteThat is a "Must See Video" So relatable when I first started in the 70's we saw someone riding and that's all you could think of or wish for , lord knows you didn't have the money for it and our parents were going to get one for you , at least where I lived. you did what ever it took to buy one and you know it was a POS. but what fun we had. Fast FWD I'm the guy with the disposable income but my kids are priced out they ride my hand-me-downs and you can't blame them, Plus excuse me but every Liberal with a cause is trying to shut down any access they can, States rob the funds for some special project it goes on and on. You have to ask yourself will we see the end of it ?

"Must See" is on point. Started riding in '71-'72 on AMF Skidaddlers we purchased from a relative who owned an auto parts store in Jersey City, NJ who, like many other such businesses at that time, wanted to get into the snowmobile selling market. Purchased three sleds, one tow buggy, one single-place trailer, parts, and service manuals for around $1,500. Weekend house in the Poconos was in a community that offered a great playground of woods trails, open fields, and two lakes, all from the house by picking a mile or so of trail through the woods to get to the good stuff. Towed kids on saucers, ventured off-trail to get to other areas with more woods roads. Rode day and night but respected homeowners' and property owners' spaces. Restrictions on accessing woods roads (or being told we couldn't ride these roads because they weren't designated for that use) killed our ability to ride. I learned the ins-and-outs of the mechanics of engines, etc., simply because if it stopped working and you wanted to ride, you had to fix it.
