    I got to sneak away for the day yesterday and go for a 125 mile ride with my dad and a couple guys from town. It was a blast, even though the trails are in rough shape up here (we've missed out on most of the snow here:(). Got to 41 degrees. Some of the warmest riding I've done for sure.

    Here are some pics, including one with me and my new best friend:D

    Rumor had it the stupid thing is originally from Wisconsin........:D

    Looks like a good time, never considered a snowmobile as we've never had much snow, but this year has been a doozy!!! I still have 12 or so inches in the yard, and we set a NEW RECORD for February snowfall this year. :eek:

    It's a Gray Jay (Canada Jay) but they are called Camp Robbers up here. They are not bashful. We were at a rest stop, and he flew to a branch above us. I put a peanut on my hand and 3 seconds later, he was my buddy.

    People that canoe up into the BWCAW have them fly into camp all the time. They are like huge chickadees.

    I saw those birds in New Found Land, I thought I was back in prehistoric time...... like they never saw humans before.

    Very cool. My brother in law is really big into sledding. I've never gone, though.
