Just rode down c101. One of my favourite trails all time when it looks like this.   Past the groomer right at the bottom at 103.   Haven’t seen many people out yet!AC400B39-6D9B-445C-9F0B-8A77D6CF3DF0.thumb.jpeg.f706dad46806dfcb313742368857f444.jpeg

I gotta say, you are one hell of a lucky person!

I guess the "oh sh!t, I need help" thread did not come in handy this time.

Was that there overnight. There are no tracks leading to where it is. Did you have to walk out?

I was wondering the same thing?

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.

What a day. I guess the good news is you got out and were not injured. It gets pricey being a volunteer. Most people think we are paid, when the fact is we spend hundreds each year breaking our stuff in adverse conditions.

 I would hope that in these circumstances, the club/district would pony up for the new belt. That would be the right thing to do. 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.

Working on it trust me.
