	Took a little sled ride today with the wife and some friends up at Paulina Lake. The weather up there was AWESOME and the riding was great despite the cruddy snow. In the parking lot I had to snap some pics of these sleds. Yamaha 4-Stroke Turbo MOD >>> Nice Arctic Cat 1M 900 >>> The view of Mt Bachelor and the Three Sisters >>> View of Paulina Lake from 8000 feet up on Paulina Peak >>> There's a gnarly hillclimb that goes up to the top of the Obsidian Flow. It's almost straight up at the top. You have to get a good fast run at it and keep the throttle PINNED. Just be sure to let off as you get to the top so you don't catch FAT AIR and land on the ROCKS!!! You have to STOP QUICK! >>> Me getting ready for the climb. I topped it 3 times >>> Wife said "You make it look easy." I said... "GIT SOME!!!" Braappp!!! >>> After the big hillclimb we found a smaller hillclimb. My friend TJ and I topped it. It had a vertical lip at the top that was kinda gnarly. TJ and I shut off the sleds and chill. Off to the corner of my eye I see a crazy snowmobiler hauling booty and then crash and tip over. I say to TJ: "WTF? Look at that crazy dude over there!" Turns out it was my WIFE Kim!!! She's new to snowmobiling (1 season) with ZERO hillclimbing skills. Plus, she's riding a little pud 1996 Polaris "INDY 500" - not a hillclimbing rig! Anyway, she RODE UP THE HILLCLIMB and was then trying to avoid a BIG HOLE while riding on a side-hill and tipped it over. Ha ha! AWESOME!!! >>> Oops! You can see the rock-filled hole of DEATH >>> My wife is NUTS! Yeah. Atta girl. Get some! >>> View from the top >>> No way! Kim's gunna do it AGAIN!!! >>> She made it without crashing! >>> Then one of our buddies tries it. It's his FIRST TIME sledding and tips it over at the top >>> He's right on the edge and it STARTS SLIDING BACK DOWN!!! TJ and Shawn JUMP ON THE SLED and save it! >>> Obsidian is still poking out. We need more snow! >>> THE END Ride on, Life's an Adventure...
