R U Kidding Me!

Its done..... you cannot tell me that there is no money in the budget to plow the road over Cayuse and Chinook. I hope thats not the case as i need to get over the pass to my happy elk hunting grounds up the Little Naches for this weekends opening. Suppose i could ride the sled over Pyramid Pass to Blowout Mtn.
