Day 5 - Feb 1
 
Special message to the Pittsburgh Putnams and
Marlette Taylors "Everything is going fine..."
Person of the Day: Eugene Putnam, of Marlette Michigan
Eugene has been part of the Pattullo2000 group for over 10 years, and one of the oldest....He is a crane operator, husband, father, grandfather and diehard snowmobiler... He is known for going off the trail and getting into the pucker brush. He has also been known to howl at the moon on occasion... He definitely misses his dog Toby.. We have noticed that ever since the big old black sow gave him the eye, he has been growing hair at an alarming rate....

Journey in a Nutshell
We left Timmons about 7:30 A.M. getting in over 100 miles by 11:00 A.M. the trails were the best maintained, that anyone had ever seen.  We traveled another 120 miles by 4:30 P.M. We made over 220 miles in 7 hours of riding , not including stopping for lunch and a blown engine on John's snowmobile. We had to tow him the last 10 miles to the motel.... Fortunately for us, there was a Skidoo shop just down the street from the motel... We got the sled over to them at 5:00 and they totally rebuilt the engine by 7:00 P.M. Great job, by the crew at B&B Auto Sports and Marine Inc. in Hearst , Ont. Thanks again Dan!!!!

Image Trek

The trails in the Cochrane, Timmons and Moonbeam, Ont. area were some of the best maintained anyone has ever seen, their sign is right... 
We came across a  large memorial today, with this french sign... Will someone out their translate it for us???
Pete is still trying to get the hang of this snowmobile thing...Living in Texas he has forgot how to judge the depth of the snow.... Here he is stuck in a snow bank... He had to give up the camera, before anyone would help.... Pete also invented a new move, called the "Bucked in drift, by a Bull" it was performed on John twice today... by the way John you might want to leave your gloves on while standing around, cause snowdrifts is cooold on the hands... this move is way cooler then the wimpy Michigan "snow douche"
