If you can find a good Airbnb, that's worth it.  We were at one in Tory Hill a couple of weekends ago.  There was 11 of us and it was $1500 for the weekend.  Split that up and split the cost for food that was brought up, it was $190 per guy for the weekend.

Yup, and that leads to my point. I am lucky to have that Many are not - so when you add up the costs of accommodations - to make my point

I guess you didn’t do your homework😂   That’s exactly what all say about the lynx, awesome for ditch banging and the area they are normally sold that do not really have groomed trails.  I’m sure as with any suspension, they can be modified to your liking with enough money spent, but that skid is designed for pounding crap from all I’ve read/seen.    but let’s see some pictures maybe in a more appropriate section of the forum!!

Costs of life is more no doubt leaving “spare” money at a premium or having to pick where to spend it I.e summer warmth, winter cold or perhaps winter warmth down south.    im sure I’m not the only one for this but when we rode years ago with friends/buddies, we would trailer up together and share that cost, someone always had a cottage or family cottage to stay, we all brought random food items that we shared I.e few pounds of bacon, steaks, eggs, spuds, etc…and whatever you wanted to drink.  always had lunch on the trail plus sled fuel. it really was not that bad based on the above, as far as I recall, it was an easy expense to do something we all loved and had a passion for. Now if you transfer the above to a family outing vs. a few buddies, thanks where thw costs get way more and most families will not or cannot do it. 

yes, just pointing out the cost to eat out when away riding vs. eating at home, x 3 meals a day x 2 days is a lot more - and adds to the expense
