Huh

 Huh?

"What did that sign say?" asks Jack zooming on by.
"Huh, what sign?" adds Rudy.

What?

"What? Another one? What does it mean?" asks Jack.
"I'm only three, I can't even read!" adds Rudy :) 

We had a beautiful morning on the fast & fun snowmobile trails at Swan Valley. Come along for a glimpse into the great outing. It was fast & fun all day long!

[watch on youtube if no video loads below]

In addition to great trails, we also like skijoring Swan Valley as we get to see and run with the dog sled teams from Good Times Adventures. I take Jack & Rudy for a 7+ mile skijor first (their warmup lap) before we enter the trails where the dog sled teams are typically found. On the way to the dog sled trails and look what we encountered - a 2 wheel drive passenger car STUCK in the trail. Oh jeez, this person had to pass a minimum of three "No Vehicles: Nov through May" signs to get to this point! On top of that, how did he get this low end car so far up the trail (we are over a mile from the trailhead at this point).

"Uh, dude, no cars allowed! You can't read signs either?" asks Jack & Rudy
slowing to trot by the 'shouldn't be here' vehicle.

We did not realize at the time of the prior photo that all dog sled teams were being held back at the trailhead until a snowcat could come up the trail and pull this car out. So, Jack, Rudy and I did some laps around the "dog sled trails" wondering "Where is everyone?" Eventually we gave up and came back to meet up with Zorro. Once with Zorro, the car came down the trail behind the snowcat and then all the dog sled teams started out for the morning. So, no flirting and running with the teams on the trails, only a glimpse of them at the start:

Zorro, Jack & Rudy watching a dog sled team head out for the morning.

Oh well, at least we got to see two teams start. Back to the important part of the day: end of run treats!

Such happy faces on Jack & Rudy.
Such focus from Zorro!

A great day on the trails although a stupid car interrupted our chance to flirt and run with dog sled teams: 9.6 miles traveled with 800 feet of elevation climbed and a top speed of 22 MPH.

2020/2021 Season to Date: 60 days on the trails covering 474.4 miles with 42,000 feet of elevation climbed.
