Hi Robie! I hope to get more trips in this spring but Allen gets the credit for getting us out on this one. Now he needs to come up with another!

Hi wolfs, I think you saw our tracks, we went to Hazard the same day, the Turtle was great! Same type of snow that you saw but very nice for what we usually see on the Turtle. Felt like corn all the...
Thanks Charles for the report. I like the idea or driving a car to Takhlakh Lake instead of an old snowmobile!
Hi Jason! Nobody passed me on Sunday either but I don't think it had anything to do with speed :)Eric
