Hello everyone,
The Alaska Moose Federation was out a couple of weeks ago helping the Alaska Department of Fish & Game clean up an old landfill out on the Anchorage Coastal Wildlife Refuge. With the help of a Bombardier GT 300 from GCI (had 120 hours on it!
), our #1776 Snow Trac and an NC Machinery dnated excavator hauled 20 junked cars 4 miles to the nearest road.
Getting there was half the fun because our newly donated hook lift truck from Alaska Waste is working great with hauling our smaller rigs. Pretty funny with all the looks it was getting going through town as well
. I've grown up with Snow Tracs in Alaska and this is one slick way to move them around! Good thing we built the roof rack because we picked up some parts that fell off the skid on the way back to the road. We put about 30 miles on the rigs and they ran great! If you want to see a short link to it on YouTube, here it is: [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4-zq_AiMVXY"]YouTube- Alaska Moose Federation Junk Car Beach Cleanup Anchorage 1-18-10 s strait.flv[/ame].
We'll be down there again during the week of Feb. 8-12 working with Granite Construction who has come on big to wrap up the project
. This time we'll have the State Trooper's Haaglund as well. We have a couple of scouting troops that may be coming down so the extra room will help.
We'll make sure we post another thread after this upcoming work. It appears we may have some big crushing projects with some dozers and some right-of-way snow cat work helping to keep moose away from the Parks highway. No worries, we'll post those as well
.
We also just started an Alaska Moose Federation Facebook page which we update when we're working our programs so check that out if it interests you. Tis' the season for trying to keep moose off of cars so we'll talk to you later, Gary.

, etc. off the flats). Here are the photos of the BR 300 using its 28,000# winch pulling junked cars through the trees out onto the flats (the cable is big around as your thumb!). Now we've seen some incredible restoration projects on this site so, if any of you guys are looking for a 'fixer upper', you might check this bus out
! Oh yah, we checked, no 'Snow Trac' parts on the bus, already canabalized!
