Reminiscing

I still remember my first snowmobile ride:

My Uncle had a Yamaha 340 he'd had forever. He used to use it to get around to his cat and coyote traps in the winter time. When I was 10 there was enough snow down in the valley around home that he fired it up and came up to my house. I got on in front of him and away we went! I will NEVER forget the first time I caught air on a sled...I never saw the drop coming and he had it pinned! We must have flown 50 or 60 feet down the hill! In reality, probably 5-6 feet, but when you're 10, you just know that it's the craziest feeling in the world, and you MUST HAVE MORE! That was 15 years ago...

1967 or '68 - feeding cows with double track and home made tow sled. 4 or 5 years old and I thought that was coolest thing ever!

my Dad said "You get it started, you can ride it." 1981 entice 340- red and white. My brother and I would take turns pulling, and by the time my Dad would get there, it would be SO FLOODED!!!!

Yep, we set a hairdryer under the hood for a while, went out and fired it up one day- about an inch of snow wore the scags out and were HOOKED!!
