2 for 2 but with a few glitches!!

 So the 2 days we were up on the mountain south of Laramie Wyoming at 9 or12,000 feet we had trouble both days with the snow machine!!the first day we went out kind of fine and made it most of the way back - a driver of his snow machine told us that probably our fuel jets were not right for the altitude we were at - and he was right!!  when I say most of the way back we were probalbly 2 miles form the truck and the snow machine quit - so Randhy flagged down a snowmobiler and asked him to take me back to the parkinglot so I could ask someone to come out and give us a tow -and I did and Marco Rivet did bring a machine out and did tow Randy and the 9 dogs back!  the second run team we used Bruce's machine and had no problems--- Sunday not so much - went out with the first team and made it back but not with the second team - we had to turn them around in the trail and then did barely make it back to the parking lot!!!  Not to mention the times Randy got off and ran with the machine trying to get them going and the times that i got out ahead of the team and tried to get them to pull and then when it was going jumped on again..............

 

Tonite we are at Rock Spirngs and in the morning will leave for Alpine and then  after that, do the 1st grade presentation on Tuesday afternoon, go to Alpine and train Tues and Wed, go to a dinner in Jackson on Thursday nite and Friday nite is the ceremonial start in Jackson – the one where I have to move the truck from the start to the finish, about a mile through the center of the city!!!!!

I'm glad the presentation to the 1st graders went well - I'm sure they were very impressed! Hope all goes well this week prepping for the races!
Love you!
