Another great Christmas spent
snowmobiling with my family in the
Northwoods of Wisconsin!
The trails were perfect - 8+ inches had fallen earlier in the week, trails had been groomed, and not too many people were up yet!
Check out the new rear view hand mirror I got from Santa!!!
The day after Christmas, Mom went skiing while Dad, Kel and I were off for a 97mile ride - yikes! We started out with a great speedway down the railroad bed - super fun soaring down the trail at 55mph!
Then into the woods for a very scenic but very bumpy and windy ride...along with a few obstacles.
Kel and Dad checking the maps....
Finally we arrived at our destination! The Birches and with 5 minutes to spare before kickoff of the Bears game!
Dad made friends with the rest of the bar...all of whom came flocking in with their own Bears attire.
Then we were off to meet Mom for lunch...and we saw a HUGE, GORGEOUS bald eagle...it is in the middle of the ice patch in the middle of the creek. It was absolutely majestic flying through the air. I guess Dan was right...the Northwoods just might be the lower 48's equivalent of Alaska, we also saw the Northern Lights that night!
We capped off the night with Brad Emmanual (a great local band!) at Otto's (best bar in the Northwoods!). I didn't take any pictures there - was too busy raising my glass for sociables! - so instead here is a picture of my fantastic new mug - LOVE IT!!
