Hey Doc,

Any chance you could make it out? I bet there will be some empty seats for you to ride in....I know I will probably have some room in my machine. Consider yourself invited, if that is OK with Marco anyway...

Lots of us snow catters here who are thankfull for this forum. It's time you got a ride in the mountains, for what you do. Plane tickets are not that much...

Reards, Kirk

this is true on the extra seats. Two safety people are showing from the local hosipital and fire dept that have no machines. I may bring my new snowmobile as backup or whatever that has no operator. I just planned on keeping it at camp.
My bombi may be even towing a large toboggon for gear. Bring your cushon.

One thing is a method of communication between rigs would be nice.
I have cb,gmrs and ham radio in mine.

to town for loging we can carpool .I have been to the site and it is a short drive . The trailhead is secure and on private land so rigs will be safe.

Jim,

Would it be fair to say that if Doc were to make it out that he would undoubtedly be treated as the VIP he is, to this snow cat community?

Especially those with vintage machines looking for information or parts or advice. From what I have been able to find, there are only a hand full of sites that are specific to snow cats. This is IMHO the best one. Wonder how many memebers and lurkers are here for this reason, the snow cat forum.

Doc, I bet it would be worth considering, as I am sure you'd be some what a of a celebrity if you were to attend....:biggrin:

Oh yea Jim, CB's would be easy and cheap and have enough range, I think...

Regards, Kirk
 
That is good Vip are good .at my local lunch spot I got promoted from that to VOP. very old person.
 
Thanks guys, I sure appreciate the kudos, but snowcats being here was not my doing. I fully support and enjoy having you guys here, but I must give credit where credit is due. Melensdad was the force behind getting the snowcat forums started. He saw the need, and lack of information for his own cat. He brought up the idea and we jumped on it. Some of you might remember he made up mugs and snowcat bags to help raise money to support the forums. He is, and was the driving force between making Forums Forums a prime web site destination for snowcat owners and snowcat information. So, I feel I lucked into this 'Celebrity' position due to the hard work and foresight of Bob aka Melensdad. Maybe he could make the scene too, with or without his snowcat.

Jim,

It'll be on the trailer behind one of my Mack's, probably the one with the sleeper, so three can ride out....

Regards, Kirk
 
Hey Marco,
THANKS!!!!!! The 'package' arrived today. I appreciate it sir!!!!!!! :tiphat: :clap: :clap:
 
Kirk-
Yeah your right...I've got to replace clutch, clutch slave, repair/replace the emergency brake cable, re-locate battery, hang a dozen replacement grousers and hopefully that's about it.

As for the Jamboree, I'm hoping to time it so that my brother and I can make the show. He has property in Sandpoint ID and wants to run BALTO up there....the terrain around my mining claims is more than the cat can handle (always above 10,000')....so I just acquired a dual axle car hauler trailer w/ electric brakes (just big enough for the cat)...then I got a '89 Chevy 3/4 ton pickup w/ rebuilt 350cu V8 turbo 400 auto 3-speed...so we have an outfit to haul with....I spoke with DAn (catservice) in Salt Lake and plan on a little rendezvous with him on the way up north.....would be good for me to have someone really knowledgeable drive it around and then I'd buy beers...lets see how it shakes out
cheers

Jim I spoke to Bert last night . His wife in dying its a tough road for him right now . The reason I called him ~ Tye One On is considering towing his Tucker behind his RV . He will be 75 feet long . I asked Bert if he will fit in the lot . Bert says EEEYUPPP !

Im looking for a company to print up some stickers That say

"I was there 2013 Snow Cat Jamboree"

If anyone out there knows a place that can do this for me please let me know .
 
If you could get an address I think some flowers would be good.
I have a sign shop in town that is making the warning signs for us .They make stickers and banners and signs of all sizes. I am checking on a large banner that can be reused .
jim
I sent you an email.

I was going over the planned route with my GPS software and noticed the steepest grade is 16%. That must be on one of the switchbacks.

How do we get a map of the route?

I have the gps of the Main route . We didn't drive the pickup on the side trails .
My old garmin software was outdated so I got new. I'll see if i can find a way to post .Learning garmin base map is a bitch. I may be able to send it to you. I do need a address. pm me.
jim
 
Well if I get mine all ready by then I'd like to come up for this. Looks like a blast and a great way to meet some crazy cat owners.
 
Jim sent me his track logs from a trip to Leavenworth earlier this months and I've dropped them onto a topo map. Here's an image showing Leavenworth:
maps_Page_1.jpg
And here's a little more detail on the section out in the woods:
maps_Page_4.jpg
And here's the same thing on a satellite photo:
maps_Page_6.jpg
I also have this in a KMZ file that will allow you to view the track in Google Earth (always fun...), but I don't know how to post it to the Forum. If anyone has any bright ideas then drop me a note.

Thanks

Ron
