Just to add some contrast to y'all's pics. My chum didn't fair well being 3rd sled through on either the Sand River, or Agawa.  It's prolly the Sand, and I will haft'a look into that fact later for sure, but the headwaters for the Sand and Agawa are surprisingly close to the Michipocotin.   He thought that he had a ski under the ice, but we got lucky and didn't actually have to fight that fight. We didn't see any other sleds all day, and we didn't have a crowded lunch spot.  

Yes there are iron butt's that can rip out 4-500 mile days but, the average sledder will take a day up and a day back, on a long weekend. I'm with you on the -30, staying in the house until it gets a bit warmer. If it doesnt... It's a good day to sit inside and drink. Ski

Two days?   I seen plenty of fella's roll through Halfway that could round-trip Searchmont to Wawa and be back by supper time!   -30C and I'm all about letting that sun come up for a while before heading outside, but these jokers roll INTO Halfway at 8:30am looking for food and gas!   Jack - that is NOT me!   .

Are we on the same page here? That is <10 MPG!   Yeah, sure, if you are breaking trail maybe? On trail?    Welcome to 1995?   .

Well, I'll tell yuh what I notice aboot that sled, is that those headlights are not likely to git covered up when breaking trail!   Even this week when we were still pushing snow after dark - with my G4 Summit, I still had snow comming up over my headlights. Now - I doo have a Lead Dog that I could git out if it came to it....   But for that porpoise, one sled that I was goggle-eyed over at the time was the new Storm in the Agressive chassis.  Having one of those with a long track, I think I could'a put that to use. I broke a LOT of trail after dark back then!   This is an XCR, but it's the right chassis.
