The ditches are great, but 28 is better than 37 because 28 had the cross wind.

ya me too had to look. didn't even get a friggin flake at my house last night and wasn't snowing when we left at 8 this morning

so ya got home last night and i got more than a flake. the wifes mini van is stuck halfway to the house snow to the bottom of the freekin lights. drift in the driveway is about 2ft or so. was sweet ridin but still no base now the land mines are hidden really good,.

Well went out and it wasn't as good as I hoped but better than nothing. There is no base, not as much snow as I had hoped, and hidden landmines, the river was decent from the bridge on 28 towards Gibbons for about 15 km, then it got sketchy at best, some open water but managed to bypass it, eventually decided it was best to get off of it and head north towards Bon Accord. From there ditch banged back to the trucks, ditches are full!! Back at the trucks County Mountie pulled up, checked registration (didn't care that plate wasn't mounted), insurance. The friendly reminder that there is no riding west from there, pay attention to the no parking signs, and no ditchbanging along 28 or 37..... Good thing he didn't come along 5 min earlier....Now time for

Interesting what he sad about not riding west from 28. According to the info put out by the county the river is off limits south of 37.

STURGEN IS NOT FROZEN!! i was the last weekend and there was still water!!

lol...there are places on the sturgeon that never freeze.....stay off it anyway....best to go cross-country than risk being wiped out by another sled or quad on a corner...

Can you guys blow some of that snow Red Deer south. We could use another nice dump to smooth out the trails in the central Alberta west country.

Thanks,

Billy Boy
