    Once we were home for a bit big sister decided to dress up the little one and ride home around the yard on the kiddie snow machine she can drive. I got to finish bucking and splitting some wood for the OWB.

    That’s awesome, great pics!
    I just read Antarctica had it’s coldest temps ever recorded, so maybe it will be an extra frozen snowy winter for y’all.

    I had to reread the title line. It was 85 here today. I'm ready for winter....but not that ready.

    Looks like a lot of fun.

    That's awesome Rope! Looks like a lot of fun. I've never ridden a snowmobile. Would like to...just as long as it's somewhere else and not here. I don't want that much snow...

    I lived in Maine for a bit, I know Plourde and Plourde in Caribou rents sleds. Northern Maine has some great trails in the neighborhood of 4,000 miles in Aroostook county.

    I grew up in Aroostook county. I can attest to the amount of snow and trails up there! Good stuff.
