History of the forum......

those pics from "the cabin" in IP are great... that hot tub was rancid when we left, wow.
"we're not leaving!!!!!"
"we're not leaving!!!!!"
This brings me back......
Remember back almost ten years ago, when I met a guy on here that wanted to come out to Island Park with us. We had room, needed the extra gas money, so we brought him with........
Several days into the trip we noticed that he never slept. I asked Hilly if he recalled if this guy (I can't even remember his name, but some of the crew called him the "axe murderer") ever slept. We did a quick poll and nobody in our crew ever saw him sleeping.......
On the way back home at a gas stop, I saw him sniffing something out of a clear plastic bag......
"What is that?" I said......
"Crank, you want some?"
He never came out west with our group again..........
That was probably the only bad experience with an "internet" friend........
The I.P Snowwest forum ride (Insert date here, ______________ I forgot the date & year) was a fantastic experience meeting some of the people........

LOL...I did the same thing today!
I don't post much (obviously) but have lurked here for years (even before I was a member) and feel I know a fair number of members on here, even having never met or spoken with them. Recognized over half of those pics and most of the threads. BTW, my vote for the best thread would be ANY with or related to 383! I've had tears in my eyes from laughing so hard during many reads!!
Most moving for me was without a doubt the tragic loss of Animal. I was moved in many ways following his death. I won't say anymore, other then it sure appeared to me that he had a GREAT group of friends and family!
Thanks for the memories....

Never mind. Thought people were still using this thread to gripe about going paid.

Animal rides with me every ride! I carry Dave under the lid of my helmet - On ALL my helmets so he's never left behind!

Just read the whole thread and laughed about my experince riding the first time with M8Chris.
It was early November and there was barely enough snow to even cover the roads up high and he put a thread in the UT section wanting to know if anyone wanted to go for a road ride. I put on there that I would drive down to UT and meet up with him.
So I tell the wife I'm going to go sledding on Wednesday, lookin at me very confused she said "where there's no snow anywhere where you going to go?" I said down in UT with some guy on Snowest.......the blank stare right at me was priceless, your joking right.....nope were going for a road ride!!
We hit rocks, stumps, and had a good time and now I ride with Chris almost more then anyone else!!
There is nothing like telling your wife your going to meet strangers off of the internet to go and ride sleds!! LMAO

Polarmo was divorced and I think, along with Fab, kind of got out of sledding. I haven't heard from him in quite some time now.
Reeb....that is awesome! Doug (Rockstar) and I had dinner with Carolyn (Animal's) wife and daughter Michelle about 2 months ago. They are doing very well. Carolyn moved into a new place, and all of the girls have grown up and mostly moved out. I miss his late night posts, and especially riding with him.
Update on Wendy and Ryan (Dakotaarcticman).....they are still living in South Dakota. They lost a second pregnancy and have not been able to have any more kids. This has been very hard on them, especially Wendy. She is into modeling now, and doing very well I take it. DAM seems to stay busy with their game ranch and stuff. I don't hear from them often, but check in occasionally.
Doug (Rockstar)....he is recovering from a 3 level front and back lumbar fusion he had done in the Fall. He has not been able to sled this year as a result.
Lots of fun times and laughs, and even tears, over the years!!!

I think its awesome to see people with the same love and passion for sledding being able to come together and talk and give one another advise. Its even better that lifelong friendships come out of it. Ive always enjoyed coming on here and reading. Paying the money is fine with me. Some of you guys have been on here a long time and that is awesome!
