Later, Tom Our sister province, New Brunswick, does pretty well attracting people who drive miles to snowmobile. http://www.therapeuticriding.ca/nbadv/snowmob.html |

Seriously. :) We had a family one. But being California, was not required to have to use it. Had to either haul it to the snow, or Clear Lake where my father retired to, had snow every couple of years. |

At least skiing is quiet and you get some excercise. Sitting under the palm trees certainly has its attractions. Went for a spin on the river yesterday in a SeaRay 260 Sundancer that we are thinking about buying. Comments anyone on the SeaRay? Problem areas, etc.? Mrs B likes it because it has an enlosed head and a fairly soft ride. |

Or sinking your brand new Yamaha snowmobile in a mushy part of a lake pass and freezing your ass off on a 13º F day trying to get it out and getting soaked in the process. No thanks - never again. That's a warm day around these parts. If the cold is not for you - then you're right. It's just not in the cards. Rob |
