Re: Long time no see

Well, I'm not much of an ATV guy. Had a horrible crash on a 3wheeler as a kid, and never really got into riding them after that. Besides it's gonna be hard enough as it is asking permission to spend 6-8000 on a good sled in a few months :rolf:

Long time no see

Hey all, just wanted to check in that I may be coming back to Ft Wainwright for another 3 years (and maybe beyond). I'll be coming back to Fairbanks for some mid tour leave from Korea, will probably hit up a club meeting if there is one between 13 Aug and 9 Sep. It also means I need to start looking...

Re: Cantwell the 22nd

As we already talked about i'll be there. On a side note, does anyone know of a place that rents out Mountain sleds or crossfire types? This will be my last run to Cantwell and I want to really tear stuff up. I'm sure my F8 will do okay, but I'd really like to spend more time enjoying the ride than ...

Re: Dec 7th : Compeaus Trail

john,

If you have room, and are willing to pick me up, I would gladly offer to buy a hot coffee and chip in for some gas. (I do live right down the road from you if you recall).

Re: Dec 7th : Compeaus Trail

What is the ride like? I'll be there as far as I know. If the weather is half as nice as the forecast it will be a good day. I'll need directions to where we will meet and an expectation of drive time. I missed the Cleary ride few weeks ago because google maps told me it would take me 37 minutes whe...

Re: Today at Skiland, Cleary Summit

I hope Fairbanks gets it early and often. I'm leaving Ft Wainwright in mid January so maybe mid December before I gotta sell the the sled.

Re: Summit anyone?

I've only put in at a pull off point about 2-3 miles north of the Lodge. And I've only been on the east side of the road.

Re: Cantwell again on Saturday?

Nick took all the pictures. My phone froze and shut off :oops: We made it to Deadman Mtn (on top of it actually). Al showed us where Deadman and Big Lake were, but we were having so much fun we didn't feel the need to go further back. We did run into some folks who were hunting back in there and Al ...

Cantwell again this weekend?

Anybody interested in going back down again? Myself, Nick and his girlfriend met up with Al, had a nice breakfast and then put over 100miles on our sleds in some of the best powder riding this season on Saturday. I drove down to Anchorage Monday and they had gotten another few inches of snow Monday ...

Re: Anything left this season?

I'm learning how to use my gps a little better now. I set a active track on it that weekend, so I have it mapped and could get back to it. But I will check the topo for deadman lake. http://www.sports-tracker.com/#/workout/txcanyon/d68ktkvgqi9aa1ke That link will take you to my gps track that I rec...

Re: Anything left this season?

Cantwell, gonna stay away from the Arctic Man crowd. See if Al is up for a ride, try to get back to that same area he took us to on the Caribou lakes weekend. Look at http://johnstons.cc/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/1365000415-13371.html If you set it to US Topo (ArcGIS) you can see Deadman Lake and ...
