That truck almost got a 300 H-H cartridge applied to it.....

(Insert video of that shotgun shell starter on a field Marshall here)

thin oil in hot engines, is nothing to mess with in sub zero weather.

Well it starts just fine if the oil is cold. Got us home just fine... It is already in the shop, finding out were the high pressure leak is in the HUI system.. :smile:

Just an O ring and a little TLC are required. :thumbup:

The people of the clowder continued,

It is a BYO +1 type of culinary program.

Jeremiah, was a hit with the kids, the parents were a little buzzed as I took the treats away from them and handed them to little people, but hey frozen potato salad, was no match for ice cream sandwiches that refused to drip.....

Everything is a Tucker! KT-4 = Kristi-Tucker-4 etc.
There were so many awesome machines represented. The KT-4 and Allis Chalmers were really cool. Loved the rat rod Tucker with skis, the Ski Dozer and the Bombardiers. Climbing up in the Prinoth Bison was awesome. The Snotracs are always a hit and one of them had Suburu power! Someone has some funny video of the 601 and Imp whipping cookies[emoji16] The Sprytes were packed full of smiling faces as we all bombed down trail to Lake Superior. Variety truly is the spice of life!
 
We had a great time. Thanks from us to everyone who organized and helped make this happen. It was a long trip, but we're both glad we did it. Thanks also to everybody who attended, it was fun to meet new people with the same sno-cat problem as us. Here's a few photos I got on my phone. Thanks again to all the Mid-West crew.

Back home and we apparently brought the UP weather with us. I wanted to take a minute to thank everyone for the all the hard work that went into making a wonderful event an EPIC success!
It was great to see old and new friends, especially the WA/ID contingent. We hope everyone traveled back safely and looking forward to seeing everyone again soon.
A BIG shout out goes out to the Big Powderhorn Ski Resort and the human that makes all these shenanigans possible! I could start listing names but I feel this post would certainly go out of specs because of all the EPIC people involved.

Long Live the #Clowder and #Clowderians! :clap::thumbup:

I finished a video. It's much longer than what I generally produce. But since this is for a target audience, I hope you will forgive the length.

The camera gimbal didn't like the extreme cold so there was a lot of footage I was unable to use when trying to tilt it down. I also had some trouble with the controller when it was covered in snow and turned to ice. Just have to work with what I have.

I had a great time at this event and all the great folks who worked so hard to get here. Thanks to everyone. It can only be this successful with a combined effort.

A very nice job with the video. I could have looked at a longer version and been just fine. Thank you for the use of the radios. It helped keep everyone in contact. A very well executed Clowder. Thank all of you for putting it on and putting up with the mafia.

More people and food.
So, when someone asks for string.... and you just hand a knife and twine to someone, maybe I should have inquired what it was for.
I suppose Parent of the year award is just around the corner.
Bow and Arrow fun for all......

Enroute to the clowder I detoured to a private stash of over the snow equipment lovingly called the dump to wake up a ME tucker for the mafia. I executed a brilliant turn around maneuver.....
Needless to say a friend in need is a friend indeed.....
