A Snow Cat Tour

[NorthernRedneck]

Up until 0.43 secs, I thought that Imp was trying to impersonate a Kristi.........then it went in the snow and proved me wrong.....

At about 1:50, they stumbled upon a Lametrac in it's natural state.

I bet they had to have a lame track go pick them up so they didnt die after getting that stuck

Must have been where it broke down. poor thing. ;-)

That's a great picture with Cody Bowl in the background

It is too bad it was soo smoky that day We were up doing some radio work at the site there, the lift operator said that day was the worst it has been all summer... so figure at least the weather was nice for us.

Red River N.M. ski area uses an old 443 as a welcome mat. Had a Pisten Bully in the weeds too.

Interesting tractor refit seen in Chama, N.M. Neat small town with a great historic train station. Massive snow blowers on display.

Wolf Creek, Co. has a nice 3700. Other one looks like a small PB.

 

[mtncrawler]

This 1800 is also on U-tube in a UFO Hunter segment #4. Very nice. Perhaps the owner will build the other one as well.

 

[Bobcat]

So, down in my neck of the 'woods', eh? You may find some Wolf Creek and Chama pictures way back somewhere in this thread. There is a Kristi or two hiding in both places.

 

[mtncrawler]

Well I don't know. You're just sorta "out there... somewhere,". I certainly always am keeping both eyes peeled for that highly desirable 601 of yours that we haven't seen much of lately.

 

[Bobcat]

You will need to come a bit farther south, and keep to the river.

 

[Bobcat]

Seen in Yerington, NV...

 

[Bobcat]

Seen somehwere in the northeast of the PRC...

Spotted in Nipigon Ontario....

Ya - saw it sitting there by the side of the hi-way when I was passing through on the 4th. Will be passing by on my way home on Thursday - hopefully Nipigon will have it moved to a better location by then.

 

[NorthernRedneck]

Saw it there 3 weeks ago when I was heading through. Still there this time around. I haven't heard yet.....is Nipigon running this year?

Nipigon is supposed to be running this year. They were supposed to get some help brushing their trails out. Don't know all the nitty-gritty details. This isn't the best place to discuss this.

I fly out of here (Musselwhite) tomorrow night, and drive home Thursday. the two weeks go by pretty fast up here.

Search & Rescue unit from Castle Rock in Frisco today. Surprised they made it through the I-70 weigh station chained down like that.

Yep I agree . That is some piss poor tie downs !They would pay a big fine in most places !

If that is a Safety One rig that is embarrassing . They know damn well how a piece of equipment should be chained down . There is no excuse for that from a company of their caliper .
I'd have that drivers ass if I owned the company . There's a lot of money sitting there . Why take a chance .
I once watched a 1/2 million dollars roll right off the back of a low bed that was chained the same way . It shut down traffic for hours and cost a whole bunch of money to repair and also repair the road damage that it caused . Just because a driver got in a hurry and did a half ass job of chaining .

Douglas County SAR and Safety One are not related. no need to smear Safety One's name.

I'm not smearing there name . I am responing to another posters post . I really don't give two hoots who it belongs to . It is piss poor chaining . You can like it or hate it . I could care less but the fact is whoever owns that rig has it chained incorrectly .
If you don't believe me take that picture down to the Highway Patrol truck scales and get a 2nd opinion . It only needs to fail one time to prove my point .
