Round Two

Kurt and I had some redeeming to do so back up to the Big Horns we went. The snow had settled, but not the score. Dad and I had found the weak link in my sled last weekend. The aftermarket quick-drive belt was just a problem. So back to stock we went. We stayed the night at the cabin, and after celebrating Mass and soft boiling some eggs, we were off and running.
 

There was no problem starting the sleds as the spring sun had the snow melting even before we hit the trail.


Battle Park was our area of choice. The sticky snow made it pretty easy to go.

Hardcore


I came out unscathed, but not so for Kurt. After 40+ hours on his bike this season, his drive chain finally gave out as he kissed a rock.


Getting him up out of the creek was interesting. But after we figured it out, the ride home was a walk in the park.


Well, success! To celebrate Kandis and Jim Ford treated me to some fish, raw fish! Jim coached me through my first go with sushi. Not bad ol' son, but I'm looking forward to Easter.

Spring Fever

It's starting to warm up and I'm getting spring fever. Chief and Mollie are eager to get to work as well. We're grateful to Colleen Chauk for allowing us to set up camp on her place. I think her late husband Ed would be proud.


The kids are a mess but doing great together


We cleaned up Ed's old tack shed and Starla Paschall gave us a second saddle 


Next up is fixing up the old round pen. There's much potential around here and the view is great. I love spring. Time to cowboy-up. 




 

Practice What You Preach

 Do my actions match my words? Good question.
