Wish they would let our cats tour the park.

Would definitely be interested. I have called to ask about winter touring in the park with ones own snowcat before, like snowmobiles can with someone in your party approved as guide, but was told no, couldn't happen. But then I'm not "The" Pontoon Princess who can pull of amazing things ?
If it's possible, definitely let's do it. That's my vote ?
I have a personal friend that is a long time winter tour guide operator and we have talked about doing a trip for many years, and in the last couple of years he has gotten everything in place for a small group of vintage cats could do a winter trip...anytime I am ready to go...
just talked with my people and we are going to look at a 8-10 cat expedition to old faithful, January / February 2022, see if it is agreeable with the powers to be...
if I make this happen,
everyone would come in the day before and stay at the stagecoach inn, a fixture in west Yellowstone, head into the Yellowstone the next day with our tour guide, spend the night at old faithful winter lodge, nice dinner and breakfast, head out the next day back to west Yellowstone and again stay the night at stage coach inn, have a get together that evening, and those wanting to have bit more cat fun follow me over to Afton Wyoming and trek into a very remote lodge for a couple days...

Does "vintage cats" mean pontoon Tuckers exclusively?

Add a Californian , an Idahoan and their Canadian import SnowTrac.
pretty sure that, no where, have I ever stated that, vintage is only pontoon tucker and or, pontoon tucker is the only vintage snow cat, so, I will leave it to you to decide what vintage means,
to me, a true vintage machine would have skiis for steering and 2 pontoons to make it go, with a little plymouth 6 cylinder for power, oh well, that's me.
while it is true, I do not speak rubber track, it is true, there is a rubber track machine or two around the place.
my only requirement would be, excellent operating condition and can be safely operated, really hate to be THAT person and or THAT group to have an issue and end up on the national news, after all, it is, Yellowstone national park...and get banned from the park for life

Luvthemvws is putting his ducks in a row.
February dates work better for me.
Attending is not the problem. Being confident that I have identified and corrected all potential "Cat Problems" is.
Don't want to be The Guy That Spoils The Fun.

road trip time, got a special delivery of tucker stuff headed east via a relay of snow catters, first 2108 miles done.
grab the Trail-a-sled snow plane on the trip home
great to see everyone and thank you all for your help
all hooked up and ready to head over to tetonia snow plane gathering, nothing like being ready in advance, no last minute rushing about..
can't wait for winter...

1972 Tucker All Terrain, guessing 1 of 4 built found what info I have, the tracks are interchangeable with pontoons, so you can run either setup, the word, is the, all terrain would cruise at about 15 mph and have top speed of over 20 mph and handle gravel/dirt roads with ease
