Well after a few weeks of awesome riding, we hit a late January thaw. Several inches of snow dissipated very rapidly due to warm temperatures and rain. After 4-5 days of above average temps, things dropped to a more winter-like 20's, but the damage was done. The open areas took a bit of a beating, but the trails in the woods held up pretty well. I went up this weekend to pick up materials for next weekend, when we will work on insulating the upstairs, in preparation for wall treatment.
This was a picture of the White Mountains heading into NH to go to Home Depot-that's where the closest one is. Picked up insulation, and some other miscellaneous stuff, headed back to unload and bring upstairs. After I lugged everything upstairs it was time for some lunch.
After a late lunch and a little cleanup, I went out for a late afternoon/early evening solo ride. There were very few other snowmobiles out for a late Saturday afternoon, which made it easier to stop and take a few pictures. This was a melting stream on one of the trails.
And this was a strange house along the rail bed
You can never figure out what people were thinking when they build I guess. Dusk fell and on the way back I drove by this barn out in the woods, and had to get a picture of it.
After a 40 mile jaunt, I headed back to the garage, and worked for a while installing
soffit vents, then back to the hotel.The next morning, I went back and cleaned up a little more, and decided to head over to Walden, as the local snowmobile club there the
Coles Pond Sledders were having a Pancake breakfast. I headed out on the trails, and took the scenic trail up to the scenic view. The view could have been better but it was a little overcast.
There was a light snow falling and I was kind of able to capture a snowflake or two on my gloves
On the way down to Walden I passed a familiar sight.
I arrived in Walden @ the old church for the pancake breakfast and it was mobbed! So many snowmobiles and cars lined up down the road. This is about a third of the snowmobiles out in the field. It would take too many pictures to show them all.
Someone who is involved on the local club was there also with his unique snowmobile
Back to the garage with a full stomach, and the long drive back home. All told some work got accomplished, and 100 miles in on the trails.
