    Another trip way north

    Dress right and it isn't too bad. Didn't even get frost bite (this year at least)

    Another trip way north

    Cold is relative. Best weather yet of my 6 trips up there.

    Another trip way north

    So much more that could be done up there. Some of my friends (one I traveled the train with and the one who took me out ice fishing) are planning a trip next year on snowmobiles that will be 800-900 miles each way, running north of Gillam (where I ended.) Each community they travel through...

    Another trip way north

    Our vet clinic was a works garage. While up north, also tried a few Canadian activities....5 pin bowling (balls have no holes and are about the size of a small cantaloupe) and Curling (harder than it looks, I always overshot the 'house' with my 'stone') Also tried a little ice fishing on...

    Another trip way north

    Our first leg was to Lamprey (see map above), where we made a short break for lunch (caribou steaks) before starting up the Deer River, where we covered 50+ miles on the ice. Ice surfaces varied from nice snow, to clear glare (don't stop- no traction), to slush and water over flowing on top of...

    Another trip way north

    Last week I once again flew to Churchill, Manitoba, Canada for the Hudson Bay Quest Dog Sled race. We landed on a clear, sunny day- with a high of -17F. While in Churchill, I was also able to visit with their local conservation officer and learned some fun new things about polar bears...

    10 year old dies at Miller Motorsports Park...

    The motocross track I know of is part of Deseret Peak Complex, not Miller Motorsports Park.

    Considering Nikon D3200 or Canon EOS Rebel T3i

    While I personally have always shot Nikon (little old school, still film) our high school yearbook uses Cannon. They seem to hold-up very well to use by teens who don't own the camera (if you know what I am getting at.)

    10 year old dies at Miller Motorsports Park...

    Minor point (but important for the reputation of MMP), but the motocross track is actually at the Deseret Peak Complex and run by a private contractor. As far as the issue of kids safety, my idea is "smart risks". Life is meant to be an adventure- you play it too safe and you miss out on a...

    looked out my window and what did I see

    About a week ago looked out my office window and say this cool little cruiser sitting in the Autozone parking lot next door.

    Backcountry business.

    5 gal bucket, lined with garbage bag. Make a seat out of insulation-type foam (much more pleasant on cold nights.)

    Decisions decisions decisions

    I was not very happy over the time we owned our 05 Dodge 2500. Frequent, major front end problems. I do believe that the 3500 uses a different set up, but I would be hesitant to go with the Dodge if you are looking for longevity. Just over a year ago we sold the Dodge and picked up an 04...

    If you don't like the new cherokee...you don't get it

    Glad to help lessen your worries! And I agree a modified new Cherokee would be interesting to see on the trail.

    If you don't like the new cherokee...you don't get it

    "They should of axed Saturn before Pontiac " They did, sort of. Saturn ceased manufacture late 2009, Pontiac early 2010 :D On the debate at hand, one question I would toss out is which is more capable: 1) new Cherokee 2) old Cherokee left completely stock? Also, the new car versus 15 year...

    Best Super Bowl Commercial

    Didn't watch the game, but tried to catch up on some of the commercials. Like the Budweiser/puppy one, although not near as good as last years. Main thing their commercials make me want to do is run out and buy a Clydesdale.
