10.   Since our last ride we had another big snow storm which presented us with ideal riding conditions, unfortunately I was dying with a flu and completely missed out on the run with the crew.

9.   To add insult to injury we had a lot of rain the following week which severely melted the snowpack!

8.   This weekend the everything finally cooperated so Maffer, young Gavin and I loaded up our sleds and headed west for a day ice fishing near the Sooley Family Cabin in Whitbourne. Maffer rode his 2006 REV 500ss while I piloted Project Powertek REV, my 2006 REV 800.

7.   Under beautiful sunny skies we drilled some holes and set out our lines.

3.   In between checking lines we did a little riding, the snow conditions were marginal but OK for a gentle cruise out the pole line as far as Highwaters.

2.   Of course we also had an awesome boil-up in our fire pit cut out near the top of the pond.

1.   At the end of the day we caught a few trout, Gavin learned about 'sneaky' trout who steal the worm from our hooks, we burned some gas, and all had an excellent time.

Cheers, MIKE
