Day 7 - Feb 1
 

Bone Chilling Cold, Windy, Overcast, Sunset... are we having fun yet?
   203 miles of windy, cold, overcast sky and snow drifts. All ingredient for perfect
snowmobiling, but you have to be dressed for it!!

Journey in a Nutshell
We did not leave until 9:30 A.M. this morning, Betty's sled's fuel pump froze up.. we had to use a blow drier to thaw it out... the temps were only around 0 degrees. We left Cochrane, Ontario and headed Southeast to New Liskeard, Ontario, stopping about halfway at a local restaurant for great burgers and homemade Pies. One thing they have discovered about this trip is that, you can eat all you want and you still lose weight.. In fact, Joann had 3 pieces of Pie today....but we are not counting... The extreme temperatures cause you to burn alot of calories to keep warm....you need lots of carbs. We arrived at our motel about 5:30. Everyone loves to read the emails we get each day... keep them coming, ask us a question, whatever! just click below

Image Trek

		Here we see our trial boss (George) point to where he thinks we are.... This ritual is supposed to instill confidence in the rest of us... we are not fooled... but follow him blindly any ways
Strong north winds created high snow drifts along the trail. It has been decades since Pete has seen snow drifts. Earlier in the day John and Robert corralled Pete and snow douched him. In the afternoon, Pete finally saw his chance to get even. Perched on top of a snow drift, Pete attempted to snow douche John, only to bury his sled in a big snow drift.... John and Robert had to help dig him out.....We have all come to realize that Pete has a major personality flaw... He does not know when to give up! We expect to dig him out again real soon.  ..
		Each night we park our sleds outside our rooms and hope they are there and then start in the morning......Tim our chase driver is supposed to stand watch..... but always falls asleep.. we are cutting his pay in half.
