What is all that white stuff all over Salt?

Looks like a basket of fun...

When i was a kid we were able to sled the road by our house for about 2 miles.. Lots of fun...and used to pull the sleds back behind an old Sno Prince with a 2 stroke Rotax.

We used to get off 1 bus stop early when I lived in Alaska. Then we'd sneek behind the bus, hang on to the bumper, and the bus pulled us up to our stop. We looked like snowmen but man was that free ride fun.

looks like you had a great time.
enjoy that 28* while you can.
the cold blast of air that hung around here for the last 12 days is headed your way.
+11 right now, warmest it has been all year.
my uni looks like a giant frozen margarita.

when i was a kid here in az we did something simular. one kid would drive a quad on the bank of the water canal. a second kid would ride on the quad backwards as a type of look out if kid 3 fell. kid 3 either got pulled in a tube, knee board or a wakeboard behind the quad in the canal water. if we were lucky we would get a few passes each befor the cops would show up.

Where in North Dakota do you live? We spent 6 years in Minot with the Air Force.

Seems like we just got by with more when I was younger. My uncle used to pull my cousin and me behind his bump from our farm to town. About 14 miles right down the highway! The sparks would fly from the rails on our sleds! And our smiles went from ear to ear!

Have Fun!

I remember back in the 70s an old buddy and I did some bumper skiing. It didn't end nearly as well as your day, but then we were using his 69 Roadrunner and there was some alcohol involved.

fun in the snow..
