AKwelder Posted March 13, 2016 Author Posted March 13, 2016 And we have an Audi experimental car parked at the camp I see they have the tow point installed. Must have been a good "Arctic" test. Road is really blowing in about 30 miles south of here, it's ruff in a crew cab, would be really fun in a white SUV. Quote
Kevingweq Posted March 13, 2016 Posted March 13, 2016 What is the most visible color in the tundra snow and ice storms ?? orange ? or ----?? Quote
poor farmer/logger Posted March 13, 2016 Posted March 13, 2016 No shortage of snow there yet anyways. Brekaups starting here. Sledding is almost over now. Got a few more days left but if it warms up much more it'll be done. Fired up the old sled the other day for the first time this year.(98 Yamaha 700 XTC) Had to clean the carbs on it and get it ready to go. Dad claims he wants to go for one ride this winter so we'll see if that progresses or if it's "to cold" for him when the time comes.lol.. Went ice fishing today with my brother so got out for one last small ride if all else fails. Got to give them credit for real world testing at least. Quote

I hope to get a ride in a couple weeks, but it's been really sad this year. Most of my sleds are still in storage Quote
AKwelder Posted March 17, 2016 Author Posted March 17, 2016 Sitting in Dead horse Alaska, I should be home by 6:30. It has been a long trip Quote
AKwelder Posted March 18, 2016 Author Posted March 18, 2016 Home. A few pictures from the drive And The whole crowd These are musk ox. They were hunted to extinction and re-populated. There are never groups this big near the road. Even tho they are just dark bumps in the snow Quote
AKwelder Posted March 18, 2016 Author Posted March 18, 2016 And someone tried to turn a little to tight Snow had blown level with the top of the road, nothing to tell where the road bargain and the ditch ended. He went to turn into a pull out, and went over. I heard he is very mad but ok. Quote
AKwelder Posted March 18, 2016 Author Posted March 18, 2016 I see millions of dollars in damage to the environment from the diesel spill. Diesel ran 100 feet down the hill and was sitting on the ice on a pond. Not very good Quote
NNY farmer Posted March 19, 2016 Posted March 19, 2016 Heard it was cold up there. My sister said -11 and 5" new snow yesterday. No offense but better you guys than us. Quote
AKwelder Posted March 19, 2016 Author Posted March 19, 2016 Was -15 to -40 on the north side of the brooks range, here in the interior it has been single digits below zero at night, then warming to the low teens. Not very warm, but better with some sun now a days Quote
NNY farmer Posted March 19, 2016 Posted March 19, 2016 Thats what she said. The cold is ok and doesnt bother her. After 15 yrs she is somewhat used to the lack of daylight. She is thinking of moving back cause she said it really bothers the kids. Quote

AKwelder Posted March 22, 2016 Author Posted March 22, 2016 Went down to true gas station with the 460 the other day, cleaned up the new driveway on the peony patch, and cleaned up the hard pack for a neighbor. The gas station is always happy to see me, makes me wonder Quote
