I cut a bunch of Popple poles, criss crossed them and got the machine up on top of them. By morning it was all froze hard as a rock and I could have ridden a bicycle in on my track. I have nothing clever to put here.

Snowed 8 inches while we were there , and that was the straw that broke the camels back. I thought I was going to have to leave the machine on the lake. Finally got it in after almost 2 hours. Took all day on Sunday to thaw it out. The fishing was terrible also.

Great tip for those of us not used to snowmobiles If you don't blow the slush out of the track and then get it up out of the soup, the next day you will have a REAL mess!
