that looks to be a 2012 :) wonder if the sales guy had the break down, or if some one just bought it and used an older trailer :-/

very nice cat though
 
A buddy of mine sent me this picture from up in Nunavut. He just started working there this week. This is what he arrived to.

My brother attended The Great Oregon Steam-Up in Brooks, Oregon this past weekend and took the following photos (he's been well trained to pay attention to All Things Orange). It isn't a Thiokol, but I still give him credit for trying. Any chance this belongs to someone on the Forum?

This would be fun to go to. Maybe throw it in with one of the other winter parties.

We have the hotel set up and they will provide all the parking we can ask for . The Leaveanworth chamber of commerce will help us if the event gets big enough to need more parking . I paid for a chamber membership to get the event on the books and started this is going to help advertise the event . Mike Stanfords ( WSDOT employee ) safety course is set up its free and will take place at the Grace Lakes area of Stevens Pass ski resort under Mikes Standfords supervision .Thank you Jim for your idea to find a way in there .
The Forest service is working with us to help arrange a permit for an "additional area" we can use safely for a cat jamboree tour in the back country .Something that would be easy to trailer to and have parking . We might need someone with a blade to help clear a parking area . My blade is limited but could do some of the work .
I will hopefully complete the permit with the forest service middle of September for the "additional area for touring ".
If anyone would be intrested in working with me and the forest service on choosing that loacation please let me know on the other fourm page .:flowers:
 
Missed my opportunity to snap a few pictures a few weeks ago when I picked up the durango. First was "The Shop" in sudbury. Second was a new Lamtrac sitting in a parking lot between Sudbury and Sault Ste Marie.
 
How is Sudbury these days? In my junior hockey days back in the '70's we took a bus up there to play the Wolves. Holy Crap! I felt like I stepped off the bus and onto the moon. It seemed like a pretty dismal place, especially in mid-winter. I hear it has cleaned up nicely since then.

I was only there for about 15 minutes total. lol. That's a pretty accurate description of the place though. Lots happening there with the mines and such but not much left in the way of trees and vegetation. I had just gotten off a 14.5 hr bus ride, picked up my vehicle, and motored straight back. There was no wasting time to take pictures.
 
A delivery at the Mount Washington Auto Road today. In the winter they transport weather personnel to the Observatory. I was pretty sure where it was going when it passed me going Up a hill.

I saw that going thru No. Conway Friday morning and figured that was where it was going. Couldn't get to a phone or camera in time though.
 
That looks like a T2S, right there. Full cab, yup. I like the brush bars to protect the mirrors, nice. Might have to fabby up something like that this summer.

here's another one my guess is it's Studebaker powered, as it has a weasel running gear .the more I see these the more I think I should build up one on a snow trac chassis man could I pack in a bunch of people in to one of those on a trip to safety.

Woohoo! Found another treasure trove of cats today. While working in southwest CO with SnoOps as a ride-along, spotted a couple of cats on the side of the road. Like Imps? We got Imps! The owner isn't in the snow cat business, he simply has Snowcatitis. Here are his Imps, his Thiokol trailer, and his stash of track parts. But that ain't all, see the next post.
