Daniel's Summit Fun

Dave and I spent a fabulous day with our buddies, Mike and Jen Johnson. Mike took us on a tour of Daniel's Summit. This is my all time favorite ride. We had nice temperatures and deep fresh powder. I wish all rides were as good as this one was.

Dave and I found a real fixer-upper.

This is the look of pure joy and exhaustion. Jen has the joy look and I have the exhaustion look.

Jen just spotted BigFoot!

That's me jumping. I didn't even break anything this time.

Ab.ra.ca.dab.ra, make Kathleen dissapear.

Just how deep is the snow you ask? Check out the front end of Mike's Snowmobile.

Jen is flying high.

Jen found some powder.

Check out Mike's face-mask. I don't think he can see.

Hmmm, I wonder if he really is going to go off that.

Yes he did.

I can't believe he went off that.

This is going to hurt.

Hey! Where's Waldo?

There he is! Crazy guy.

Dave is looking pretty good after a fun day of riding.

Houston... we have lift off.

This is Mike Johnson high marking on a hill called Tower. This is the same hill a 16 year old boy died in an avalanche a week prior. Needless to say Jen wasn't very happy with him.

Pinedale Wy. Snowmobile Trip

What a bunch of Flakes!

Jen is doing her happy dance; or is she just trying to keep warm? Temperatures were in the negatives.

That's me waiting for the drugs to kick in long enough to get me back to the road. An Ambulance was waiting for me when I returned. It turns out that if you are going to have an accident, having good friends that can get you out of a jam are good to bring along.

Dave and I decided to join our Snomobile group on a trip to Wy. This trip was supposed to be our highlight trip of the winter. It tuned out to be the highlight for the wrong reasons. I found out about 16 miles into the first ride of the trip that the snow levels were not deep. I ended up hitting a boulder that was buried just deep enough that I couldn't see it. If you look closely, you can see the bent arm on my sled and the boulder I hit. I stopped real fast and flipped onto my back on top of the boulder. Needless to say, that was the end of my day/trip.
