My pleasure Mark, the first rides every year take me right back to being out on the land with dad and grandfather. Funny how certain things can trigger your memory right back to your youth... My first rides every year transports me back to 5 year old me. And I'm with dad and grandfather on the trap and snare lines.

Well if it's snow you're wishing for I hope you get it as well. Our winters seem to be changing here, in the form that they are getting milder and milder with each passing year.

What's even stranger is that I live in a snow belt area where we normally get hammered with the snow. Perhaps the winds of change are at work here and the snow belt is shifting... Truthfully, I'm ok with that...

This is why I want a snowmobile! Not for groomed trails! Terrible year for snow in NS too, very icy and thin in the northwest, Cape Breton is better. Looks like a system is on the way in though! Let's hope it doesn't turn into rain this time!

I love slowly picking your way through the country on the Tundra, but it's tough going around the bogs where we normally ride over snow covered tuckamores/Stunted black spruce trees. Their branches get so entangled with the trees next to each other it gets extremely hard to pick a spot you can squeeze through.

I'm not sure what is going on but in years gone by we would have more snow in the middle of Nov then we've been getting the last 3 years in the end of Jan... Now don't get me wrong, a part of me, a very big part of me wishes we'd get a lot less snow to clear out of the driveway, but then when you get on the ski-doo everything about the snow seems right and you find yourself looking and wishing for more snow... I'm so confused.... LOL
