snowmobiling on river?

[icenads]

Oh yeah plenty good for riding yet. Very few open spots of water. As a matter of fact the biggest open spot we found we water skipped it a bunch of times for fun. Were going again tommorow. As for snow it aint the best but enough. Seemed like new ulm there was less and more as you head towards redwood.

Icenads there was just 2 of us yesterdat a black yamaha and a blue yamaha, Sunday morning we have a bigger group going up river some are going up to granite and some half to go back earl y. The snow seems to get better as u go west, the river by new ulm is more wide open and the snow blows off it more than up river seems there is more snow up your way.

ran the river from courtland to mankato to sibley park couple open spots but once you get to sibley park its all open bcuz that river dumps in and then came back and rode to the 37 bridge and came home only 1 open spot by the quarries had to go across water but it was a fun day!!

Well the river runnin for the year is done, went up river sunday the water was coming on top the ice so deep that one of guys in out group sunk his up to windsheild after 40 feet of straps were hooked up and sleds hooked up we got it out and running in a hour made it about 3/4 way to granite and turned around , all in all it was a good ride, Lifes short ride hard.

Ya we went to granite from north redwood on Sunday it got worse and worse as we went west. We wanted to make it there though my buddy had a uncle that lived by the river but enough was enough. We were water skipping from bank to bank til we decided to turn around. Glad we had a good day riding saturday that was alot of fun. Icecold- Glad to hear you got your buddies sled out, he must have killed the motor before it went under. What stretch of river was that on? Til next year!!

P.S. Ya got any pics of it?

icenads. he sunk it about 1 mile down stream from northredwood boatlanding, I think we met you when we were coming back down river from trying to go to granite, you probable seen where we turned around, a couple of the guys were getting nervous about river so we decided to turn back, I was having a good time, kind of gets the heart pumping when you dont know whats around the next bent, we went back to north redwood and ate and then rode trail to morton and just screwed around on river until we got home. What a good time this year on the old river .. A bad day of snowmobiling is still better than a good day at work.

icenads, no actual pics of incident but the funny part is that the weekend before when we went to granite, i had my camera with and i took about 40 pics, this time i decided i just wanted to ride, so the guy that sunk his sled had his with and it was in his pocket full of water so that took care of getting any good shots, It would have made a h#ll of picture to blow up and hang on wall

Yep good choice on turning around where you did, we were only a few miles away from my buddies uncle (in granite) until we turned around, glad we did cuz like you said coming around every corner you never know what you were gona run into. Got some video but havnt figured out how to put it in my post

I cant believe what a difference a week makes, last weekend at this time we were snowmobiling fri ,sat and sunday on river, now all the snow is gone, this is always a sad time of year for me, seeing all the white gold melt away, I cant wait for summer to get over and the hunting seasons to begin, cause that means the snow will be flying soon, See ya on da river next winter.
