Chuck, Do you have a Paypal Account?

paypal...yep....revbaron@yahoo.com

I put out the 4th kit on Sunday. Not down in French Creek yet. This one is temporarily located at:

N 41 deg 16.508' W 106 deg 16.264'

It's off trail T a few hundred yards on the left as you're heading east. Look for the pines with the orange flags. It's under a big leaning pine.

I'll update this post when I get back out to put it in the bottom of French Creek off Libby flats.

A quick note of thanks to NAPAMATT for sending me some supplies including a water pump belt for a Polaris along with a variety of plugs and a emergency first aid kit. I'll try to gather a few more items today and make another kit so I can put it out near the end of the roller coaster and trail "N-O". That way it's not far from all the carnage of the widow maker and still not far from the warming hut.

I have checked on all 4 kits and raised them up from all the snow recently. I even got a chance to use some wire from one yesterday as my Boss seat zipper completely broke and I had to wire my seat together to keep from losing my snowbunje.

Huge thanks to XTREMEDOO for a very generous donation to the cause. Just in time too as I was out yesterday buying more supplies for the 5th kit.

It may be a couple weeks before I get it out though as on my last ride out I had a piston pin fall out which caused my ring to turn and catch a port taking out my piston and ruining my cylinder plating.

We met you at the McDonalds in Laramie on Presidents Day. We would like to donate some firestarter if you need some. One of the guys Dad works at a place they make it. If it would help let me know and I will ship it to you.

All Together

I tried to cut and paste all 4 box locations. Is this correct? Did you relocate the last one yet? We are headed out in a week so I want to have this data with me. It is greatly appreciated, thanks so much.

N 41 deg 13.113', W 106 deg 16.458'
The first one is right behind this sign off trail Q & T intersection

N 41 deg 27.362', W 106 deg 16.395'
The second kit is behind the outhouse in a clump of pines about 20 yds behind and to the right side when looking at the doors from the front. This is located at the corner of trails "O", "P", and "K".

N 41 deg 19.807' W 106 deg 21.546'
On the north side of trail U (Hwy 130) right where you round the corner to N look for a small pine marked with an orange flag. Behind it on the hillside are two large pines which are also marked with orange tape. The kit is buried right between the two trees.

N 41 deg 16.508' W 106 deg 16.264'
It's off trail T a few hundred yards on the left as you're heading east. Look for the pines with the orange flags. It's under a big leaning pine.
I'll update this post when I get back out to put it in the bottom of French Creek off Libby flats

They are all in the same place. I never had a chance to relocate the 4th one.
I did make a 5th kit and will be putting it off "N-O" at the end of the rollercoaster the next chance I get up there. Working on my sled right now as the last ride out my ring pin pushed in causing my ring to turn which then caught the port destroying my piston and jug. Jug is out getting replated right now but hope to be up and running soon.

Up riding the Snowys and Battle Mtn this week. Had an awesome day today and haven't and hopefully shouldn't need anything (we try to be prepared for just about anything) but I have the locations in the GPS just in case. Thanks again and I'll be sending you the few bucks I've got left in my Paypal account soon.

Looked for the one at Q & T today but I couldn't remember where exactly it was, looked all up in the trees and erverything, funny thing is we took a pic of my buddy standing with his foot on the sign, Capt Morgan style.

 

[rev*baron]

You had your foot on it if you were standing on the sign. It's right behind the sign touching it buried in the snow. Might be down a few feet now as I haven't checked on it for a month now.

Thanks for the $$. It all helps especially since my last trip out to put out the 5th kit my backup sled 600HO motor went down with a bad piston ring/pin which took out the piston/head and also cracked my crank. Soon as I get one of my sleds back running I'll cruise around breaking it back in to check on all the kits and hopefully finish putting out the 5th kit by then end of the roller coaster. For now it's buried behind the sign on the north side of 130 right before the Libby Flats overlook where my sled died.

guess I won't be able to read this thread any longer, bye bye

I posted the coordinates on here:

so that non-snowest members can get the info as well.


Also a big THANKS to the Spear Corporation for sending me a huge box of firestarters and a lighter! I'll ziplock bag some and add them to the kits.

 

[rev*baron]

Pulled all the kits and fuel out on the 5th of May. Everything was still there.
If I find a job locally and can stay in Loveland I'll put them back out next winter again.

thanks to those who sent supplies, Chuck
