Well, this past weekend's plan didn't go quite as expected. The weather provided a pretty good snow blanket on everything. We had planned on a 4-wheelin trek on the King's River trail but due to the snow and slick roads we ended up on Buffalo Mine Road.
One of our party was pulling a four place enclosed trailer and he was concerned about the slick road. Things got a bit squirrelly with the trailer a couple of times so that is when we stopped at Buffalo Mine Road.
This photograph was taken by my daughter Marie. Thanks Marie.
It ended up being a very fun trip. We drove in and off-loaded our bikes near the end of the road. There is a trail that winds up into the hills about a mile from the end of the road. The first hill we encountered looked a little daunting but we made it up no problem. Even with the new snow, we got quite high before we stopped to build a camp fire, roast meat, and eat snacks.
Some of the mud holes looked like they were frozen but we found out that looks can be deceiving. It is a very beautiful view of the Matanuska Valley from way up there. That's just one of the reasons we enjoy these trips so much.
The snow doesn't dissappoint us. It kind of curtails our 4-wheelin activity, but opens the door to snowmachining. Come on snow! (I hope this latest dump doesn't just melt away.) It should provide a good base if we continue to get more snow.
My sled is a 2000 Polaris 800 RMK. I bought it used and it has some after market mods which make it a great sled for me. I will post some pictures of my sled once we get out and do some riding. Hopefully, that will be in the next week or two.

I was wondering if Amsoil has products that can be used in bicycles? One of the blogs that I visit had a question about the best grease to use on a bike that is used in very wet places.
Yes, AMSOIL products work very well in bicycles. Anything mechanical can benefit from the quality products AMSOIL has to offer. The water resistant grease would help keep moving parts operating smoothly and also keep out moisture. The MP (Metal Protector) lube would also be a good product to keep cables and shift mechanisms working smoothly.
