Well, we made it, this was the first big trip for my 8yr old Argo Pilot. The trip in took about 3hrs, first half, to the creek was pretty easy going (The ground was still frozen, so the deep holes had a bottom to them) but made for a good test. Myriah did very well and really impressed her Grandma. I ended up letting her run my machine with the 24" Frontier Tires and the 27hp engine, for a number of reasons but mostly becouse my throttle is very easy to operate (makes a huge difference over a long trip), and becouse trying to operate hers with the rubber tracks on it in the mud, muskeg, and tight trees was a PITA
(I actually ended up ripping the tracks off and left them out in the damn bush..............it made for an interesting ride home without them).
Also blew a seal in the Master Cylinder on that machine, so had to deal with it on the Mosquito infested trail. Working on hot equipment is never good, pretty sure I burnt every one of my fingers rebuilding it, but I had to hurry, The bugs were trying to fly off with my younger kids
I took the Rotary Exchange Student out with us, he's from Bolivia. He had never done something like this before, I think he had a pretty good time with us. The ice is still on the lake, but it's breaking along the edges. Just enough open water to haul out the Kayaks and play around a bit (Sailboat and Sea-Doo type toys will have to wait till next weekend).
Here is a look at the First half of the trip in (To the bridge)
I will post more vids/pics on this thread as I get them made
