Snowmobile - Woo Hoo!
Last night was my first time on a snowmobile.
Phil came by and picked me up, and we headed out along the trails down to Dease Lake (The Lake, not the town) to check the burbot set lines. When we got to the lake Phil opened it up a bit, nothing much for him, but for me, it was crazy - like some amuzement park ride. We got up to around 55mph in about 1 or 2 seconds. Now for me, not being used to this, 55mph on a snowmobile is crazy fast! While it is nothing like the top speed of this monster sled, its still pretty damn fast when you have nothing around you. We checked the set lines - no fish. Oh well. Covered up the holes, and Phil asked me if I wanted a go on the sled. I was hesitant, afterall, this would be my first time driving, and its a nearly brand new, and expensive machine. I couldnt believe how easy it was to drive. Hardly touched the gas and I was off - the acceleration is amazing. Its crazy what 110+ horsepower can do in a 900lb sled. I drove around for a couple minutes, then headed back, loaded up, and we left for home. Needless to say, that little bit of driving has got me hooked. I want one now! I am unlikely to ever get one, but thats alright, I can dream. :) << Return to Blog << Return to DeaseLake.net |
