So I ran up to Bountiful today to try to get more familiar with the area. I decided to take my backup sled out and make sure I got every thing put back together right and put a little time on it.

About 5 miles from the parking lot it started running poorly and then died. A guy and his wife were heading down and stopped. We looked and pretty much decided that my fuel pump died. He didn't want to tow me out with his turbo M8 so he goes down and gets a different sled comes back and towed me out.

If I remember right his name is Rob Lewis.

It is moments like this that make me happy to be a snowmobiler.
Thank you!!!!

Ouch! insult to injury. I think I recall this stupid guy heading up bntfl and only making it to the pumpkin patch before blowing his crank and had to hike out. then having an awesome guy from snow west go up the next day and drag his azz out. Our sled community is awesome.

I figured I was pretty safe since I never left the road and it is a heavily traveled area.

Thats what I thought too, I was up at Guardsman. I thought I had a CDI going out, its a five min. swap on my goat, my dealer gave me a new one to swap. I went up waited for it to do it thing, I felt it start to go so I side hilled it into the slope so I could swap out. Got the swap done and couldn't get it started...I was in the trees in 2' of fresh the truck was prob. 2 miles away...I pushed it down into the bottom of the canyon I was in pulled the rope and keep 90 MPH track speed all the way to the truck. Like Bill Engvall says "heres your sign" I earned it that day...Im pretty sure JW or CC was supposed to be with me

A few of us were up at mantua last year. The snow was bottomless, and we just got dumped on. One guy was trying out a sled that he was getting ready to sell; It went down, and we were all getting burried trying to get him out (this is before i had the KK). A group of sledders came along on m8s, and m1000s. They pulled him up to the trail, and gave him their spare straps (the ones like tiedown straps, but for pulling sleds). They wouldn't take any money, not even when we insisted.

It's great to know that we sledders really do look after each other. You have to help others because it just has to be done.
