That would be like saying "I have a free three day weekend in the middle of summer in the sunshine, so I think I'll call off the caching":p:rolleyes:

Well maybe I should have worded it different. I am going to cancel driving up north hauling my sleds behind the truck in a snowstorm and just do my snowmobile trip locally instead.

When I was up there last week for WWWWWW4 I was disappointed with the small amount of snow I brought with me so I sent some more.

Has it arrived? :)

Trust me . . . when it comes to snowmobiling there is such a thing as having too much of a good thing . . . especially if it comes all at once.

Yesterday there were five of us out sledding. We only did 70 or so miles and in all that time we had two crashes (nothing major . . . once my brother got caught in a drift and went into a haybale and then once he ran into an unmarked ditch which pitched him off the sled), two "fall offs" while attempting to go over a steep bank near the roads (again no physical injuries) and nine "stucks" (one of which was in chest deep snow . . . it was at this point that our group decided to turn around and abandon our attempt to ride to Dysarts for lunch seeing as it was already 1 p.m.)

That said . . . I'm still loving this snow . . . just gotta remember to let the young 16-20 year olds get out before me so they can break trail and get stuck . . . makes the going so much easier for me then! :) ;)

Oh yeah . . . it came . . . thanks for the gift . . . I don't think my wife or Becket appreciates it much though! :) ;)

yeah, that chest deep stuff sucks, I went in up to my chest when we were setting up our tent... it was definitely an interesting veiw of the putting the stakes in the ground and almost being eye level with them... :D:D:D
