    Not sure but I thought I saw your work cap on a shiny new truck the other day 🤣:lmao:

    Good eye V 2, that proves l do drive slow in the neighborhood  . Yes the new truck does have a shiny front end so my new strategy when long term parking will be to remove the starter relay under the hood.

    Snowmobiling is becoming like owning a Harley Davidson.   Every year the average age of the riders is increasing by 2 years.     Young guys cannot afford to get into the sport and therefore have no interest in volunteering. 

    That is a pretty broad brush you are painting these young people with. I know quite a few young guys and gals that are passionate about snowmobiling and do volunteer their time when they can.  As an older guy myself I have been involved with this sport for too many years,  it seems that we do not welcome the younger generation into our clubs in a way that they want to help out and also have fun. 

    I have 3 daughters, they all look forward to the first weekend of December where they can invite their friends to help volunteer with trail set up. We have Hot chili in the shop afterwards with a warm fire, it's all about the experience. If you make it enjoyable, welcoming and fun, the "young gals(and gals)" will return.

    We often get - I'd love to help out if only I had some time. 

    but, somehow you found the time to ride all day on barely passable trails??? 

    A few years back our group 4 of us came across a good sized tree blocking the trail . As we struggled to move it ,enough to get by , 2 other guys pull up behind us . They crack open the Red Bulls and watch . We get our sleds past and put the tree back across the trail . I know it was a prick move , but felt right at the time .
