here is a few pics of our trail clearing for winter snowmobile use
i usually do most of the falling of trees, but some impatient green horns couldn't wait for me to get there. so they decided they would fall it without me i didn't get to see it because i was down the trail a couple hundred yards,buuut i heard it!! that sound of wood cracking, then the woods go silent, then ya hear OH an then the sound of atv plastic cracking this was a ''demo'', which really stands for ''demolish'' not demonstrater. i haven't heard yet what the repair bill was, but i'm sure it was plenty luckily the rear rack on the machine ahead of this one took the blunt of the hit, an just the top slapped the headlight.

Funny how quickly our priority shifts towards hunting season and winter activities

been cuttin trail still while the weather is good, here's a few more pics.
this is ''monument 106'' it marks the 49th parellel, an the us. canada boarder. the ''106'' means that it is 106 miles from the pacific ocean. the second pic is the ''boarder cut'' as we call it. it's clear cut the entire lenght.
some times the trail is a bit nasty an things get broke, like this pic of my axle!! the trail is hard enough in 4 wheel drive, but in 3 wheel drive it's real bitch!! luckily i've got a winch.
