Run up to Stampede Pass

Today we took the cat up to Stampede Pass and had lunch at the weather station. We had some media folks with us to do a story, a couple new guys to train on the cat and a gob of snow machines of all types.

The cat ran really well. I had adjusted the steering bands and it made a huge difference. Very quick and responsive steering now. Before it was pull the stick and wonder if the beast was ever gonna turn.

Runs very cool too. The diff temp barely reads anything and the engine might creep up to 160 after an hour of running hard up a hill.

Pics attached for your pleasure. I spotted a variety of cats parked and stashed along the road including the elusive Astro-Spryte. Probably never before seen in the wild. It looks to be the unlikely marriage of a Spryte and half of a van.

They did ride with us. I had 2 reporters and 2 photographers from 2 different TV stations. They shot lots of video. Then only used a few seconds of it. I even let the reporters drive it.

Last time I was at Stampede Pass, I went through the tunnel. All the rail looked like spagetti since someone burned all the railroad ties. Looked like they were decommissioning the line. Don't know since I left shortly thereafter.

I miss the mountains of WW, Boeing Surplus; but not the traffic nor the cost of living. And forget the rain.

Back to the thread.....
