Again
this
year
Thursdays 10CM of new snow has been the
Saskatchewan miracle
for this snowmobile ride.
|
5 cm here 3 cm there,
and another shot on Sat/night Sunday.
10AM and... |
...we are loading every
nook and cranny on our sleds.

landmarks in the storm.

This
is

to
be a
"A

ROAD!!

there
one
more
chance
to
save
my
soul?"
Just off the Rolling Stubble
fields down to...
|
...we are cruising thru just fantastic stubble fields
full of
SASKATCHEWAN'S
UNUSUALLY DRY POWDER
Filled rolling hills and sloughs!Yours truly

45 or so seconds into this video, something large and moving
catches my eye across the hill tops in the snow storm...what? |
Looks like a massive pay loader like a huge Volvo
or something.
Well our questions are soon answered once we hit
(literally, thankfully!) a
bunch of big machinery tracks in the snow and a pile of new
"power line structures" |
Exiting a back road near a stubble field we head towards the Island Lake School for a landmark.

the service road leading up to the gas station. |
After 27 miles we
make it to the gas station.
By 12:12PM, we pull out!
|
We fuel up and I am
"Takin' Care Of Business"!
someone
has to track our fuel! I can enter the data here. We pull out
headed north back into the bliss! YAHOO! |
