I just did a solo 600 mile 11hr drive to look at a newer cat. I was surprised how easy it was.

Guess it is better than some. Still may have to think about that one a bit. Our property in the mts is 8 hrs one way from home. Still I'm on the band wagon for a jamboree in the middle of the states !!!!!!

Wouldn't Wyoming be considered the middle??????????

They are really cool. They are street legal and have been registered for road use in the states since 1960. They weigh around 1300 lbs and haul around 1100 lbs.
In August there is an event in Oregon which many owners attend.
See http://www.northwestmogfest.com/ for more information.

They even made snowcat version called a Schneewiesel.

As I mentioned to many of you while we were attending jamboree in 2013 I was also planning a gathering in Leavenworth,WA for owners' of Haflinger trucks.

Well we had the event last weekend we also used the Der Ritterhof as our base and it was a great success. I learned many things from the success of your 2013 Jamboree. Thank You.

We also traveled North from Eagle Creek Road and I can provide lots of trail/road knowledge I gained. I look forward to seeing everyone at the 2014 Jamboree.

As far as I know nothing is being planned. Someone needs to get it going for location and date.

Someone should be sure to contact the cop on the snowmobile there at the site to let them know your coming back. It was instrumental in the success of the event. Its the one thing that if not done may ruin your fun. I dont have his number but Bert will know who he is and possibly how to get ahold of him. Have your route plan available to show the cop !

Thanks 1BigGuy, let me know what you hear if you get to him before I do. Also thanks for the heads up Iron Goat, since you had contact with him last year feel free to dial him up again and give him a heads up for the 25th of Jan this year if you think we should. It is seeming like this whole thing will be a joint effort on the part of several of us to pull it off again, so let's make it happen!

I can tell you it is virtually impossible to get into long term trouble at those bars. Get 86'd one night or one weekend, and your welcomed back like a long lost sibling the next!

Don't maim anyone, and it's no big deal

Track party/snow cat jamboree will officially be Jan 25! I have confirmed with Bert and the Beverian Boondocker snomobile club that the date works for them. I will be contacting Der Ritterhof about accommodations and parking, and Crystals about pre catting breakfast. I will be updating here regularly and will use this site to get an idea of turn out this year so please speak up here so we can create a great event for everyone. This will have to be a joint effort to make it work this year so please speak up if your interested in contributing to the event or some part of the weekend. It may be a little early but THINK SNOW !!!!

thanks for doing that. The large jamboree sign I had made last year belongs to the person planning it . I was planning on sending it out of state but in this case maybe I can just bring it.

remember the fun we had lastyear lets do it again!! Those of you who couldn't make it don't miss out on this one.
And kirk,I don't want any lame soybean story again this year.

I won't be able to make it this year it's looking like i'm going to have a busy one from the drivers seat of my new Thiokol. i'm already booking work for this winter even have a film crew thinking about covering some of it. may be I can get some photo's posted for the period of time i'm out doing this. Also how many Alaska members do we have may be we should have a post Iditarod or pre Christmas regional get together. I like per Christmas as going to the city could be justified by Christmas shopping.
