I Never Thought of That!

As Mike awaits the final sale of his Hoback house, he threw out the idea about a month ago that we should look for some snowmobiles.  I was all in!  Of course, as life goes, once you start thinking about something, you start seeing that something.  One of the guys we snowmobiled with back in the day had this sled up for sale.  His son was selling the other.  A person we totally trust, they were purchased without hesitation.

And as we loaded them, Mike quipped, I could have bought a couple of mules for what we paid for these things!  I never thought of that!!  

Word around the valley - north and south - is that snowmobiles are a hot commodity.  No one wants to be in a tram car on the ski hill and many are thinking snowmobiles are the perfect social yet isolated winter activity.  The trails will probably be busy. 

Don't they look a bit like bees??  These are two stroke sleds.  Pull the cord and blap blap blap they growl!  An 800 and a 600 engine size.  Get stuck once, and you have your daily workout!  

Yes, it's a bit redneck, however, once we spend the entire winter in Freedom, these toys could be a very nice distraction to impending boredom!!
