Great pics. Very jealous here in Maine... in the office. Congrats to K and all you lucky folks that have gotten out there today. Conditions look non-early Novemberish. Very cool!

Hope some of you guys got the goods today!!! Got off exit 6 stopped to take a leak, and when I started to leave my clutch/tranny?? was all FD up...could not get it in gear...anyways had a mechanic come up, and he said my clutch is shot. Asked him if they could do it today, and he gave me a look like he just saw jesus christ..Called another place and got the same shit...After weighing my options...Decided to spend a small fortune and have it towed back to ct. Oh well theres always next week

Wow, talk about major suckage!!!! So close!! :???:
Next time don't stop to take a leak until you get there. At least you would have gotten some skiing in before needing the tow home.

Or just pee in an empty bottle and don't worry about stopping (but then remember what bottle you peed in!!
)Sorry to hear about that clutch, that's a cr@ppy thing to have happen any day, especially though on the way to the hill!

The stairway home is pretty funny. It's purposely 1/3 of the whole video and says a lot about the day, without saying anything at all. Nice work.

I use 2 Arizona 32 oz bottles as the "p" bottles. They're a decent size and opaque brown so you can't tell what is in there. Too bad the ladies can't use them but it helps a lot as Iceman seems to have the weakest bladder of the lot. I also drink a lot of coffee on the long drives.

Wow...really crappy about the clutch. 20/20 hindsight, I wonder what the guy would have charged you to drive you to K, wait (assume you buy his lunch)...then bring you back.
I mean....say it was a $500 tow job. What's another 2 hunj? In for a penny....in for a pound? *is that how that saying goes?* :>
Hopefully, from my meager experience with clutches going south in the middle of a road trip...it's just the throw-out bearing...or a dome detritus (ok...some big detritus) between the clutch and pressure plate.
AS FOR THE VIDEO. Looks like fun. And thanks for whoever made the comment about the walk at the end of the vid. About two minutes into that segment, I was laughing....but still jealous.

And now, into expansion mode. Looks like it'll at least be the Poma added for the weekend, with upper bunny and Mouse Run on tap. Guns on Downdraft headwall, forecast looks good enough that they might start on lower bunny for the weekend.
