Monday we did the loop ride to Two Top and then on to Big Spring, in Idaho. We carried on a bit, looking for
savage camping spots, but ended up lost in the suburbs/summer homes of Island Park, ID. With a low fuel situation--this is one of the thrills of snowmobiling--we carried on back to West Yellowstone and our campsite there at the Branding Iron Motel. Another exciting day. All of it coming back now. I think we are ready for some of the bigger rides!

Closer up...it's supposed to be 129 miles from West Yellowstone to Grand Teton
National Park, but I think we're much closer here |

Looking toward the top of Two Top; our first ride, after purchasing our
snowmobile in 2003, was here, and, we thought, hey, with a 1000cc engine,
we can do anything those smaller sleds are doing...resulting in our first
crash and rescue; more than once were we rescued by the kindness of strangers...
anyhow, after a number of further rides and incidents, we figured out that
the 1000cc meant really heavy, and that should stick strictly to groomed trails... |
