[sno-drifter]

Here is a link to the One Tucker Sno-Cat that made the journey across the continent but fell into a 100' deep crevasse, killing the driver. One of the survivors tells his story. The photo in this article shows Sno-Cat Able which is now in NZ. The photo says it taken in 1969. there is a Nodwell beside it in the photo. Does anyone know what year the Nodwell is to verify the date? Thanks http://evolutia-stelara.blogspot.com/2010/08/four-new-zealanders-who-were-killed-in.html
