Vintage Snowmobile Trail Ride January 2009 near Irons, MI
Old sled dog computer game? Apple II or DOS, I think?
I'm looking for the name of an old computer game, circa 1995. In the game, you were in command of a sled dog team. It was like Oregon Trail, but with a dog sled. I don't think it was Yukon Trail. I assume it was for the Apple II computer or for MS-DOS. It may have been made by Mecc, but maybe not.
You could pick the dogs for each position. "Wheel" is one position I remember. Sometimes the dogs would run away. Oh, and I think you could hire an old Native American dude to come with.
If anyone has any info, I'd much appreciate it. I want to recapture this little bit of my childhood.
hmm i looked around and I couldn't find anything i asked some friends too but no such luck... my only other knowledge is there has been talk of a mushing video game coming out.
Snowmobile Extreme Will a digital camera function in extreme cold?
I am taking a vacation to Sweden in December and will be spending one night in northern Sweden. I'll be going snowmobiling and outside temperatures are usually between -20 and -30 F. Will a digital camera function in those temperatures?
Keep your batteries and camera warm, the cold will drain the battery life fast as can be.... when I am shooting in the cold.. I keep my camera under my jacket, and only take it out to shoot.. then back in it goes.. I also keep extra batteries in an inner pocket next to my body.... those chemical hand warmers are great too, to keep in your bag if you can't carry your camera within your jacket...
Snowmobile Covers That Offer the Best Protection for your Snowmobile
The best time to take out your snowmobile is when the countryside has been covered knee deep in snow. During this time you can have great fun tearing around on your snowmobile and traveling to various places that would otherwise be inaccessible. And at the times when your snowmobile is not in use you can cover it up with snowmobile covers.
These snowmobile covers come in many different varieties and they are made from materials that will provide various protective abilities, like the snowmobile covers that are made from heavy duty polyester. These snowmobile covers are available in 3 sizes that can fit most types of snowmobiles.
You’ll find that snowmobile covers are also designed to fit over work sleds and touring snowmobiles as well. Some of these snowmobile covers have security buckles that will secure the snow cover properly to your vehicle. These buckles will be able to withstand the high winds that can be a result of you driving to the perfect snowmobile spot.
Most if not all, of the various different snowmobile covers which are designed to hold the snowmobile cover down even in high winds, have exclusive tension flaps. These flaps are the things that make sure the cover stays on your snowmobile even when you are driving at high speeds along the freeway with the wind tearing at the covers.
You can also find snowmobile covers which are made from fabric which can stay on your snowmobile even in extreme high wind conditions like those of a hurricane. These snowmobile covers are made so that they are also water resistant. Added to these advantages is the fact that these snowmobile covers will not shrink or even stretch out of shape.
Snowmobile covers which have been designed to repel water will ensure that any stray water or melting snow does not come into contact with your snowmobile. As a result of this protection the level of corrosion which might occur from water damage is greatly lowered.
A few of these snowmobile covers also have a storage bag which is included for the times when you have no need of the cover material. At these times you just have to bundle the cover into this storage bag an keep it there safe and dry until you need it again.
You will also find that most of the different snowmobile covers have a two or three year warranty period. During this time period if some type of damage occurs due to manufacturing faults you can have the snowmobile cover replaced.
With the many types of snowmobile covers available you can be sure that you’ll be able to have the best protection for your snowmobile at all times, regardless of the weather conditions.

Snow Sled Trail Questions ; I have a couple questions on horses ?
1.) What are those halter fuzzies used for? Are they just usually used for shows or normal halter?
If you don't know what I mean, here is a link to a picture of one :
2.) I am selling my Thoroughbred and I'm buying a new horse but pony size. Now, I'm not sure what to do with him/her when I buy him. There is a pony club by my place and a 4-H. Pony club is a bit far for us to drive back and forth and so is 4-H. I love trail riding, and we have a river right beside my house down a 2 minute walk trail.
3.) Not horse related , but I'm going to my best friend's house tonight with my 2 other friends. (One or both may not show up. Anyways, there are a couple hills by her house in town, and it's snowing LOTS! We got an idea into sledding at the hills.. but what else?
Thanks !
Halter fuzzies are just for horses that have sensitive skin or for trailering. My horse has one but that is because his halter ring rubs his face and makes it sore(his face is white and it also burns in the summer)
You shouldn't sell you TB. He is still fresh after being stalled for 5.5 months. Let him have a good turn out in a nail free pasture. He is very happy that he is outside again and doesn't quite know what to do. And You shouldn't have trotted him. Just a simple tack up and lunge then walk for about 15 min would have done great then get off and let him "free lunge" and let off some stem.
Tell stories at your friends build snow people and igloos. See how far you can burrow/ dig in the snow and make a snow cave. Listen to music and dance watch movies.
Bowral in Australia is a retreat from the stresses of daily life
A little more than an hour from Sydney there's an historic little town called Bowral. A charming municipality, it's worth the short trip and can be easily reached by car, train or bus. It's an easy drive on the Hume Highway but visitors with a few hours to spare might enjoy the more scenic route on the Princess Highway that follows the coastline. If you arrive without a car you can rent one in town for sightseeing trips to the outlying areas. There's much to see including the magnificent view from the top of Mt. Gibralatar.
This is the commercial center of the Southern Highlands, a great place to shop and it's pretty as well. Well-to-do gentry living in Sydney started using this area as a retreat from the stresses of daily life almost as soon as the town was founded. Following the construction of the railroad in the 1860s travel became convenient. Magnificent manor houses and estates remain as a legacy of that elegant time.
The English passion for ornate gardens arrived with the first settlers and has continued to be a feature of life. Private gardens here are considered to be among the finest in the world and many are open to visitors. Corbett Gardens is a beautiful park in the middle of town where many varieties of flowers can be seen. It's open free to the public except during the Tulip Time Festival in late September when a small admission fee is charged.
Good food abounds here. Locals and visitors alike enjoy dining al fresco at sidewalk cafes and restaurants with pleasant patios. Weather is generally mild. During the winter months of June and July the weather can be damp and chilly but temperatures rarely reach freezing.
Even though snow falls here only every few years there is an active Siberian Husky club whose member organize a variety dog sled events in the wintery months of May through September. Visitors can attend and participate in an introductory day to introduce new mushers to the art of dog sled racing. Here, however, racing dogs pull wheeled scooters instead of snow sleds.
In summer temperatures rarely reach ninety degrees which helps to make "Bushwalking" the sport of choice for many visitors. There are hikes for every level of ability and enthusiasm. Youngsters, oldsters and people who rarely leave their recliners will find easy graded trails. Fitness buffs will find more challenging treks and opportunities to hike some rugged terrain. The town is surrounded by a variety of scenic landscapes. There are caves, waterfalls, naturally sculpted sandstone and a deep gorge carved out by the Shoalhaven river. Birdwatchers love the many varieties of exotic birds that may be seen including parrots, lyre birds and kookaburras.
November is spring and time for the annual Bong Bong Picnic Race. Society people turn out dressed in their finest finery with hats that scream to be admired. It's the event of the season and might remind you of the Ascot horse racing scene in My Fair Lady.
In December it's warm and everyone comes out for Family Carols. Families bring their picnic baskets and gather on the lawn in Corbett Gardens. That's how they get ready for Christmas in summer in Bowral.

2. Kids Fascination with the Extreme Sport Phenomenon
Nobody can deny that the newest crazes with kids are the extreme sports. The phenomenon has reached all the way down to kids as young as early elementary school. Is it a problem, or is it a blessing?

3. Snowmobile Racing aka Snowcrossing
What is it that draws so many people to snowmobile racing? Is it the snow, the snowmobiles themselves, or perhaps the crisp fresh air of winter? Suffice to say the draw is all of the above mentioned. Snowmobile racing is a cross between watching the Daytona 500, speed skating, and roller derby. Throw in a few hairpin turns and paint the snowmobiles bright neon colors, and you have yourself a snowmobile race. Where are some of these snowmobile or snowcross races held?
Eagle River, Wisconsin has had a snowmobile derby for the past 41 years and this race and location is rich in history. In 1944 the first snowmobile (well at least one that closely resembles the models of today) was built. It basically consisted of a toboggan on skis that could be driven over the snow. During the 1960s is when the thought of using snowmobiles in the form of a sport caught the attention of many. The idea came as a way to boost the winter economy and boost, it did. The snowmobile derby in Eagle River today can draw crowds upwards of 50,000 ...
Hi, I was looking to getting a renegade adrenaline, and I was wondering is this sled any good for boondocking? Because i mostly stay on the trails but occasionally go boondocking. Thanks!
If 75% of women wear the wrong bra size, and 75% of men wear shirts with the wrong sleeve length, is it any wonder that so many people do not understand paper trails, do not understand their critical roles in con games? Fraud, shell games, scandal-revelation and creation, and rip-offs of every kind flower from this tell-tale debris.
And, alas, most importantly, it is essential to understand how all of this paper trail information is tied together by social security numbers. (For the intent to rob you blind, this information collecting method is, obviously, patently illegal. For the lawn mower manufacturer, in his search for demographics trying to sell you a new riding mower, however, society seems to feel this is O.K)
Spreading like wildfire, with the aid of an internet stage setting, what are paper trails anyhow? Let's be more specific.
Simply put, as they might affect you, they are every sort of record, kept anywhere, that link business transactions back to you. These can be any paper document such as a bill of sale, promissory note, receipt, application, resume filing, customs claim, insurance form, notarized statement, any legal form. These spell out into computer records.
It's largely society's propulsion into the computer / internet era of the 1990s that has brought about this current-day fleshing out of the "paper trail." It's now so efficient that the structural schematic of this thought-police invasion--this total assault on your privacy--should indeed frighten you. What next? you might ask. Will you be marked with a tracking device so the government always knows where you are?
In this day and age it's computers, computers, internet, internet. Far and wide. They are to blame. It's computer records that pull all these bits of paper information together, to the delight of con artists.
Examples: Credit card purchase? Computer. Bank deposit? Computer. House purchase? Computer. And, the list goes on and on. Endlessly.
Take a simple, one-time credit card purchase. This is stored in the bank's computer, as well as several way stations along the path back to your bank, in the network's computers. When you deposit cash into your checking account the information is stored in a computer. when you deposit cash into your savings account the information is stored in a computer. when you buy a house you get a triple-whammy, the transaction is stored in a computer, in paper form, and on microfilm at your county recorder's office. Every time you turn around and blink these days, it seems, something about you is recorded in a computer.
And, sad to say, the common link that pulls all of your business transactions together is your social security number. It is the commonly used identifier of the present day age. By using only your social security number the con man can put together a near-total list of your business transactions stretching back over the years.
So, stealing your ss number--it being the string-tying mechanism which pulls everything together-- then packaging it neatly and presenting your financial affairs to the world as the "whole you"--makes it easy for the con man. These data include such invasion-of-privacy issues as what assets you have, where you shop, what you buy, and what you owe on various credit accounts and loans. The skilled con artist knows precisely how to pull this string.
Unfortunately, too many people today regard this as only a mild irritation, like talking to robots on the phone while trying to make a warranty claim on a defective computer. Red flag! It's far more serious than that So, like it or not, the challenge is on you, to weave, dodge, confuse, and bewilder any scam artist who might be about to stalk you.
How do you do this? How do you fortify your defenses?
You must disrupt your paper trail. This can partially be done in several ways, or combination:
1. A long, long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away (seemingly), cash was used. Stash your credit and debit cards. Earmark them for occasional or emergency use only, and for the most part rediscover cash money, paper and coin. Go back to this simpler form of exchange wherever possible. We all feel nostalgia isn't what it used to be, but this step alone will go far toward masking your paper trail.
2. Set up a Trust. This is like turning the porch light on, with nobody home. It somewhat confuses the paper trail by disrupting the con man's view, due to the linkage between you and your Trust. Like the service station attendant washing your windshield with a soapy brush, this will partly obscure the vision of the con man trying to put together a financial profile on you.
3. Refuse to star in the con artist's psychodrama. Go offshore. Not physically. Just export some of your assets This is not considered socially acceptable. Not patriotic, either. But, it's not illegal, and it is most effective. If you make yourself invisible to the bureaucrats--and the scam artists--they will have no address with which to find you. (A page torn from a legal thriller?)
4. You ask, what if the Hokey Pokey is really what it's all about? Incredibly, the U.S. Supreme Court has ruled that bank records enjoy no privacy protection. That's right, none. They are considered property of the bank, You are not, however required to reveal your social security number when opening a non-interest bearing account, e.g. checking, debit, credit card. So, don't. You are only required to reveal your social security number to a bank when interest-bearing accounts are involved. This is because the bank must report to I.R.S., for tax purposes, on how much they paid you.
5. You can even out-con the con man. Follow the New Hampshire state motto: "Go away and leave us alone." Get yourself a post office box, then write, "Moved, left no forwarding address" on the face of every envelope that the postman tries to deliver to your home. That would certainly leave anyone trying to steal your identity hanging by a quickly-shrinking thread. This would be like giving a seeing-eye sled dog to a blind Eskimo..
These are just a few of the steps you can take to shore up your privacy. These steps will not totally obliterate the scam artist's view of your financial structure. But, it will hinder it to the point of nearly crippling him, leave him babbling to himself, wondering how to write zero in Roman numerals. Consultation with an expert attorney would undoubtedly reveal more avenues of privacy restoration.
If such preventive steps were universally adopted, it would be quite a blow to the scamsters. It would leave con men everywhere quaking in their Hummer SUVs and calling their analysts on their cell phones.
