6.   It was with great excitement as we loaded up the vehicles and headed out to the Sooley Family cabin near Whitbourne for another awesome annual Winter Trip.  Sooley had his 1994 Skidoo Mach 1, Adam his 2002 Skidoo Summit, French his venerable 2005 RX-Warrior, Todd his 2005 Skidoo REV 500ss and I loaded up Project Renegade and hit the highway Thursday morning under beautiful sunny skies.

5.   With a smaller crew on hand, mild temperatures and not a lot of snow, Sooley and I set to work. We drilled some holes at the top of eth pond and set some ice fishing lines, then we set to making improvements to fire pit clearing. We cut down a few trees to make more room and tied up some of those logs to make benches. Now we didn't have to sit on the snow anymore!

4.   Unfortunately this year already low snow conditions was met with a fair bit of rain and continuing mild temperatures.  We did manage to get in a little bit of riding, and ice fishing, but rain doesn't treat digital cameras well so we have very few photos of this trip.

2.   We all rocked water skimming at Highwaters, but Todd made it look easy on his Rev 500ss.

1.   The weather may dampen our clothes but it didn't damped our spirits. As usual the winter cabin trip was a great time and we certainly made the most of it despite the weather!
