Re: Snow run pics
 

Where we go the snowmobiles outnumber 4wd by 10x. If it isn't plowed,
it's a snowmobile trail reguardless of any 'road' vs 'trail' on the map.
Of course the maps are not very accurate. My last wheeling trip was
fully instrumented with GPS and laptop. Came home and did the research,
we were driving on one trail, it clearly shows us switching to another
trail in the middle. No clue about that when we were following the ruts
out in the swamps.

Re: Snow run pics
 

Yep, thats me. Oh we cut way more than one tree. Just one was huge (bigger than the
saw). We actually didnt get that bad of a blow down here in the gorge, or maybe its
just that we didnt notice it, since high winds are perfectly normal at any time of
year here. Thats why its some of the best windsurfing in the world. lol.
