sno(w) cat serenade, march 10-16, 2021

Glad you all are living the Sun Valley dream!

This afternoon I might have to dump an IPA into my Village Station pint glass, face my chair into the sun, get some Reckless Kelly playing through the headphones, close my eyes and pretend I’m there.

Nothing seems quite the same in the world since attending SVSCS-2020.....

Happy Tuckering! And Thiokol and Snowtrac-ing and all else

*almost forgot Frandeeing!
 
Making tracks under blue sky's.

Over heated the Kitten Friday, parked it and my son the driver hitched a ride with Jinn in the 544 cab forward. Picked the cat up a few hours later and it drove out fine. One of these days I will get this machine figured out. Probably wasn't the best choice for this long adventure.

We topped the radiator off on the kitten and took it out again today. Showed the driver, my son, where the temperature gauge is so maybe we wouldn't over heat it again. Well the kitten made the entire trip today with no problem, and even out climbed the Frandee on the steep hill climb. I didn't get any photos of this. It was impressive what this machine can do.
 
Day 4 is in the books, thank you to all, truly a very memorable snow Cat Serenade, a gathering of old grousers and speaking of old grousers, Bri and Bri, ( track addict ) their metal sculpture when to "its all about downhill" Fred R, it is now his turn to create next years sculpture...

folks came from: Washington, Oregon, Utah, Montana, Georgia, Minnesota and Colorado, wonderful folks and great new friends...

up to Fox Peak through the wildness area, nearly thirty miles, lunch was at about 9,000 feet high in the Sawtooth Mountains

might add, very impressed with 4 days of running snowcats through the Sawtooths, every machine ran well and got back each night with no issues, well done!!!

Looks fantastic, wish I was there instead of stuck in lockdown! - might come across for next years hopefully.
