I am not sure if it is a must, I just picked one up at blue mountain sports yesterday so I wouldnt have to wonder about it. Sunday is still our plan as well, and I have a friend from baker bringing his old sled up to go too.

Hopefully early, I will have to see when my buddy John will want to meet us up there (he is driving up from Baker). I am hoping to leave la grande early in the morning though, I plan to have the sleds loaded tonight and ready to go.

I think we are going to be leaving town at 8, a friend of mine is going to be up there right at 9 (coming from Baker), so we are going to try and meet up there at 9 or so. Already got the sleds loaded and ready to go.

Yeah, she and I are going, and meeting up with a buddy of mine from baker. He is bringing his old rmk 680 up there and meeting us at the sno park. Maybe we will see you up there, if you see a black/red nytro running around thats me.

Anthony was very nice today, I think there were 3 other sleds besides us up there today. Snow was good, and while it was a bit warm, we got to play around climbing some hills in a few of the play areas. I did see some not so smart people did try to go across grande rhonde lake too, and you can see the gray thin ice through the snow in spots. Too bad I did not see you up there.

there was about 24-30" or so, not horrible to ride on. The weather report on their site says they expect 1-3 inches tonight, which will be nice. There is a chance of snow up there tomorrow as well.

I work out in the field, I am the wireless engineer/installer/DSL installer/ all in one. I am the guy that runs around in the white extended cab pickup, doing internet installs and the like. I also do most of the tower work for access points and stuff too.

you mean getting broadband internet?

We are considering going on another ride up at Anthony sometime this weekend, not sure if we are yet or not. Doesnt look like they will get any new snow, but they did get a couple of inches a couple of days ago.

I was not sure if I saw you up there or not today, but I recognized one of the sleds from your uploaded photos suitcase, thought that might have been you up there at Anthony Lakes today. I posted just a couple of the photos I took of us today, We had to head back a bit early though. If that was you, hope you had a nice time with that new RMK I thought I saw.

No we went to Catherine Creek, we got a late start leaving town.. Nice looking sleds, I still think those phazers look cool. thanks for the pic's. Let us know if you go this next weekend, I am going over to pick my new one up tomorrow. I will be wanting to get some brake in miles on it. Maybe I will have time to go up and show you where the warming shelter is, that is if you don't already..

Sure, let me know if you end up going, and I am sure we will want to go. I am getting Becky better and better at sledding, yesterday was only the third time he has ever gone. Just have to get her to use the throttle more. She really likes that phazer though, and though it did need some work after buying it, it is running great now and kind of rips for a sled that only has 80hp.

I still need to put more break in miles on mine, yesterday I put on my spare belt to get it broken in so it is ready in case I need it, but I still have a few more tanks of gas to run through it before I am supposed to really open mine up.

I wasn't sure if it was you, I thought you said you got a new RMK and I saw a brand new one running around up there, with another polaris that looked identical to the one that I think Tree-Killer is riding with halfcase in the other photos that were posted.

good to hear, is the new picture posted the new sled? I am sure you cant wait to get it out to get those break in miles done.

We are planning on going somewhere on Sunday, Becky has to work on Saturday or else we would go somewhere then most likely. I do need to adjust the suspension on her sled before we go, I figure I can have that done Saturday while she is at work, so its ready to go on Sunday.
