12.   Another weekend, and another fresh snowfall on which to ride! Saturday morning Maffer and I loaded up the sleds and met up with Danny, Brian and a few of their buddies on Power's Road in the Goulds. We were joining them for a snowmobile run to Cranes North Atlantic on Witless Bay Line. Maffer was riding his 2006 REV 500ss while I piloted my freshly rebuilt Project Powertek REV.

11.   We left the trucks and headed North to Chicken Farm Road, then to Northern Pond Road reconvening near the campers to wait for a couple more guys to show up. While we waited Maffer and I managed to find a few drifts to tear up with our matching machines.

10.   After Northern Pond Road we ended up splitting into two groups as the old fellers wanted to take the bogy old pole line route, while Maffer and I chose to take the smoother Joyce's Trail route to Witless Bay Line.

7.   We had a great run with near perfect conditions. Occasionally we'd stop to climb a hill or pound some snow drifts and eventually made it to Crane's North Atlantic where we stopped for gas and a hot lunch.

5.   We checked in with Danny, they got hung up 10 minutes into their route helping a group of people escort an injured snowmobiler out of the woods. There were bad washouts on that old pole line trail and some poor fella drove headfirst into one and ended up with some injuries. They successfully got the man and his broken machine out, and met his family at the highway.

1.   Maffer and I continued on our journey heading back mostly the way we came, choosing to take a few loops in through Northern Pond Road and the fields in the Goulds on the way home. All in all a fantastic day on the snow, I hope this winter weather continues!

Cheers, MIKE
