No, that was from the ride in. I was helping out another club with a brushing project, mechanical brushing. All I had to do was bring the operator and fuel to the excavator. The first picture is from the first trip in. I thought it would be wiser to bring the operator in to get started and to break the trail, over a foot came down overnight. The stuck was on the way out to get fuel. I got caught in the excavator track and got sucked in to the deep stuff. I spent 1 hour getting unstuck, yes I was alone. All in all it was not these best day I have ever had out sledding. Oh and I burnt up a $250 belt towing the fuels back in, 40 gallons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most people think we are paid, when the fact is we spend hundreds each year breaking our stuff in adverse conditions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The alternative would have been way more expensive and it would send a strong message to our volunteers that that we respect their contributions and don’t want them significantly out of pocket.

Right on, and I think most clubs would gladly do that. Much like getting towed out for miles and killing a buddies belt, you replace it for him. Just the right thing to do.
