GMANN, When we get snow we mostly use the lake to get to trails or ditches. The last two years most of my riding has been on the lake due to lack of snow. We do a lot of exploring on the various islands and what not looking for good hill climbs and some jumps. The great part about the lake is you can easily get gas and food from anywhere. The downside to the lake is that there are a water patrol and the the channels are 15mph zones, which is crazy cuz that's where all the open water is.
Fassell Man, Thanks for the compliments on the sleds and the XLT. I put a lot of work into the XLT. It was going to be my sled for this winter, but then i ran across a deal on a new 2003. At this point i am undecided on what i want to do with the XLT. I am either going to go Mod crazy on it or I am going to sell it. I really want to keep it but I just know i wont ride it once i pound a few miles on the 600XCsp... as for posting pics. Use the REPLY link at the bottom of the post instead of the QUICK reply window.
