This past week I had the awsome opertunity to ride the NEK, New Hampshire, and have a great time with Fellow HCS'ers WEATHERFORCT ( Gil), Tom Whit and brother Keith, and to also briefly meet a few others later on Friday.
I wish I could have stayed the whole weekend, but Duty calls, and I had to leave Saturday Am. So others will fill in with the rest of the weekends activities.



Started the day with a early wake up call.


A Icy climb up East Haven where there was still TONS of snow.



Snomobilers Paradise. Log home among the trees.




A Icy CT River. Anybody for a Polar Bear swim ??



Quit here. I guess we missed the Snodeo? LOL



The King of the Hill.



Old Barn.


Old Stone Foundations.


A VERY tight tunnel under a road. I have dings in my helmet now.


Thursday Night at the Northland. We ran into several other CT Snowmobilers. These Die Hard riders are in there late 70's and Early 80's. These guys are Honarary HCS' ers for their Dedication, and strong backs.
They are still riding late 80's and early 90's machines!

Friday started off with a run down to a Teddy Free Island Pond.



A Blast form the Past. Keiths F1000 was having seriouse issues, and George from the old Kingdom Cat lent a helping hand. But alas, the Cat was tempermental all weekend.



Trench Warfare.


Lending a Helping Hand.



This Cat just wouldnt land on its Feet. But amazingly, it was wrighted, and with a turn of the key, it drove away without a glitch. It kept asking for more punishment!





The cat had a Power Valve problem, getting only 6 miles per gallon. So we added some fancy Auxilary fuel capacity.


There will be more stories and pictures to follow. Thanks again Tom, Gil, and Keith ! beer_cheers.gif

If that sled was a car, those pictures would be perfect for a CARFAX commercial:

..."low, easy, pampered miles"
..."trouble free"
..."great gas mileage"

If only I had some video-sound bytes from when TAZ was growling, and keeping us from entering the cabin.
With Taz around, we knew our gear and sleds were SAFE.....
