Snowmobile Scouting

A good friend of mine asked me up I wanted to go snowmobile trail scouting with him today! This normally would be a "no duhh" answer...but today I woke up to a nice down pour outside(don't worry, im used to that). After talking with Caleb we decided to go for it; we would be taking his grandpa's rhino 660 up on some logging roads by mt baker.

My partner in crime.(hey, arnt you suppose to be driving!)


My stylish outfit.


Getting ready.

We got to the parking lot and unloaded in a steady drizzle. We ventured up the old logging road for an hour exploring any side trail heading up! We wanted to find a nice meadow at higher elevation to come back to later in the season on snowmobiles.

After about an hour and a half we started to see some snow on the ground. We kept driving and eventually were in 6inch of snow.





We ended up exploring both sides of the valley driving until the rhino couldn't make go further(about a foot of snow). We didnt find any meadows, but we also weren't able to make it to the end of the road! The plan is to keep exploring this area on snowmobiles when we get some more snow.
