Thanks,

I wouldnt get the hype going that high on the "latest & greatest" :whistling::unsure: yet this DMC came out to my satisfaction.

Hope to see everyone there,,, and hopefully it snows just enough at least for us to enjoy the rides...

p.s. clear weather during that week will be the best thing that could happen, will make it very "picturesque"

If all goes well, I'll have a buddy "drone-pilot" join, who does some awesome aerials, his stuff gets posted in Statesman Journal a lot.
 
I'm glad we decided to for go this year I would have been P!$$ed if I showed up and there wasn't any snow like levenworth last year. good news for me mother nature dumped 12 inches last weekend and now we are in for another storm warning for this weekend. just finished the head gasket last night passenger cabin gets finished this weekend.
 
Welcome all to the 2015 Cats Meow Jamboree

Also, if you've been holding out, today March 10th is historically the best chance of finding the cheapest flight. The Tuesday closest to 45 days from departure. So, if you are on the fence, now is the time to move.

And while I've never been there, if it's like anywhere else on the planet, when its showing rain at the lower elevations there is more than likely going to be snow above 5,000 feet (where this is taking place).
 
timberline has several live web cams. I hope we'll be on one soon.
I pulled the blade off mine. no use hauling 450lbs and not using it.
I told my wife about the dance and she still doesn't care to go.

And just guessing here, but I'm betting quite a few of you could write this off as a business training / promotion expense.

As it is I no longer own an ST4, so I'm either going to rope a friend who has one into going and if needs be haul it there for him, or bring the Tucker 544. I might even try to stuff 2 ST4's on to this custom Tucker Snow cat trailer just to see if it can be done!

So, since you are on line right now, what have you decided to haul?

(I'm betting there are VERY FEW people that have ever seen a 544 :whistling:)
 
this is lyndon's and he has it ready to go . maybe as a backup??
I took this picture when we picked it up.

just in to the Tucker news desk, "Red" a former employee of Tucker Sno-Cat Inc, along with his wife, Beth, will be attending the "Meow", who is Red, you ask, he worked at Tucker from the mid 50's till his retirement, HE helped build the Trans Antarctic Expedition Tuckers, and do they have some wonderful stories to tell about life at Tucker. all good and very nice people to chat with.
 
the event keeps getting better and better.

I am a no go, (teaching is a great gig except for lack of vacation) there is a wonderful support network working hard behind this event.

Get your butt out there. the price of a couple plane tickets and a room will most likely be in your check book when you check out.

latest info from Timberline lodge !!!

the number of room reservations are up in the last week or so and the dinner reservation are way up, very very good to see this happening, we are going to have an unbelievable event with GREAT people,

just think, if we have 60 sno-cats attended and each cat brought 1" of sno, we would have 5 feet of sno!!! looks like praying for sno is beginning to work, looks like we will get sno (it is a tucker thing) this weekend, two or three days of it, yeah!!!

thanks to everyone

It was begining to look like I wasn't going to make it to the Cats Meow. Our facility got bought out by another company. They laid off my entire crew, and I went from being a 'QC' ( Quality Control Inspector ) and Electrical Administrator back to working "ON-the-Tools", journeyman electrician. My new alternate refused to modify his schedule. It's 36 below today and I just finished hooking up a Well, which is outside work. Just going into my 4th week of working outside in the arctic and definately feeling my full 61 years! But it went pretty well, and unlike some other days I can still walk.
The new outfit blocks all social media, like Facebook and UTube.
I wish I could import some of our surplus snow for the Mt. Hood.
 
ya 4 weeks! I just did 2 and I feel for ya
I am headed back up to a village next week, no good food on this trip
packing everything in in and sleeping in the power house :(

We hope to come down for Friday and Saturday but I don't think we will bring the cat. I just can't keep up with you guys!

Great to hear you two are coming it wouldn't be the same without you two.

Bring your cat and I can run behind you. I'm not fast either. Heck you want your cat in the photo at Timberline anyway. ?
