SMILING BECAUSE "I went ass
over tea kettle!
"Did you see me pounding deep soft snow drifts and bulrushes in
those sloughs"
|
 |
SMILING BECAUSE...Our guide had
been telling us tall tales about
Carl May!
(http://en.wikipedia.org/
wiki/Karl_May)
While we look over the edge at the
Buffalo Jump. |
 |
SMILING...just
what makes you
think that I am smiling! |
 |
SMILING BECAUSE...We are not exactly sure,
why
you are all smiling! But hearing that Polaris rev up sure seems
to have some of your attention! |
 |
SMILING
BECAUSE we just hit a patch of flood
slush water along the edge of the South Branch! |
 |
SMILING BECAUSE the
camera is
doing something unusual!
It took a video instead of a picture! To be posted as soon as if find
it! |
 |
SMILING BECAUSE it's not our sled
that blew up, I
guess a drag race sled set up for 10,000 RPM isn't so good for 8 hours
of cross country riding! |
 |
SMILING BECAUSE the
windshield
that's missing didn't
break when I rolled it, just when I hit a tree branch a couple hours
later! |
 |
We were not laughing a couple minutes ago but
are
SMILING
NOW BECAUSE the snow is great and neither the
windshield or the mirrors broke off after I rolled it by the
Bell Lakes! |
 |
SMILING BECAUSE in Vancouver
our ice cubes aren't
nearly as big! |
 |
SMILING BECAUSE we
have just met the Chief! |
 |
SMILING BECAUSE it
is April in Saskatchewan and we are getting stuck in
new snow!
|
 |
SMILING BECAUSE there is a
couple sleds
down below
that are going to need digging out! |
 |
SMILING BECAUSE we
are all together and
have stopped for
lunch in St. Louis while on a snowmobile ride in Nisbet Forest. |
 |
SMILING BECAUSE we
are out in the
Nisbet for the
first time and having a blast! |
 |
SMILING BECAUSE
not
saying
who but
someone
just went over the bars and it wasn't me!
AGAIN!! |
 |
SMILING BECAUSE I
can still
smile with a face full of
snow!
|
 |
SMILING BECAUSE we have
been stuck for hours just to
go a couple miles down one of these
back road corridors... man I think mountain riding is easier
than this! |
 |
SMILING BECAUSE we just don't have
opportunities
like
this in France! The Bombardiers in France have a different type of
rails!
|
 |
SMILING BECAUSE we
have just had a
great ride
across the North Branch from Fort Carlton and I have just lost track of time! |
 |
SMILING BECAUSE we
are on Miners Creek Trail and when I pour
the coal to it, this XC SP is hauling the mail!
|
 |
SMILING BECAUSE Dad
climbed the fire tower to call the R.C.M.P. for a motorist in distress.
|
 |
SMILING BECAUSE we
had to leave someone behind to fend for
himself! Apparently a Mars bar wrapper doesn't double as tissue paper very well.
|
 |
SMILING BECAUSE as
soon as you pull that Polaris off the
high banks I can get help!
|
 |
SMILING BECAUSE
we
are out for a family snowmobile ride and
having a BBQ. |
 |
SMILING BECAUSE
this
new method of zipping up your suite is
different!
|
 |
SMILING BECAUSE we
are stuck and are we lucky
that Dad is here to help us dig out! |
 |
SMILING BECAUSE
we are stuck again! |
 |
SMILING BECAUSE
mom and I have just make tracks in
this entire meadow!
|
 |
SMILING
BECAUSE the only injury is the pocket book!
|
 |
SMILING BECAUSE
this
unlikely occurrence of halving to crawl out from
under the snowmobile was not
expected!
|
 |
SMILING BECAUSE the
photographer is making smart cracks about
us! |
 |
SMILING BECAUSE
riding these
hotrods does have the racy
comparisons to our sport bikes back home, this is so forgiving! |
 |
SMILING BECAUSE
we
have just met the Chief! |
 |
SMILING BECAUSE
Dad rented 2 machines |

SMILING BECAUSE this Dad has taken his boys snowmobiling!
|
SMILING BECAUSE
you cannot see me!
|
 |
SMILING BECAUSE
we are snowmobiling in the Saskatchewan
Prairies in April!
|
 |
SMILING BECAUSE the
sled may be stuck, but the good
news is it's up there and I'm down here!
|
 |
SMILING BECAUSE Mom
is taking me for a ride!
|
 |
SMILING BECAUSE we
are in minus 28 Celsius Saskatchewan winter
Weather, near an abandoned home! And we've been told we have the wildest looking
hats our trail guide as ever seen! |
 |
SMILING BECAUSE I just
about
backed out, and I can't believe
how much fun it is to ride the
Saskatchewan
country side on a snowmobile! |
 |
SMILING BECAUSE my
Dad has brought my friends snowmobiling
with us!
|
 |
SMILING BECAUSE
my sister is giving me a snowmobile ride for
the first time!
|
 |
SMILING BECAUSE
Moms going to tear down the lake with
me on the back! |
 |
SMILING BECAUSE
we are out on a snowmobile trip with our friends! |
 |
SMILING BECAUSE
this is my first time to drive a snowmobile.
|
 |
SMILING BECAUSE
that is what cousins do when they get
together! |
 |
SMILING BECAUSE this
the first
time snowmobiling in the wilderness for this
Englishman!
And our guide brought
carrots! |
 |
SMILING BECAUSE I operated the throttle for Dad. This is when
he took his hand off of the throttle, and with out
his knowing it was going to
happen, the ZL picked back up to stay with the pack. This ZL 500 barked to life
pretty good, it sure surprised him! Dad said "don't tell Mom!" Dad said "he was
real happy he didn't fall off the back!" |
 |
SMILING BECAUSE
we
just moved some
Trees off the trail!
|
 |
SMILING BECAUSE
this
killer bale
didn't get me! |
