Help a friend out
I have a small group of buddies that hang around together when time allows, we have similar work schedules (One guy..... "Big T" is retired). Anyway, one of these guys is on the large side, he loves to get out camping/quading, ect but he had himself convinced that he would never get out to a particular remote lake............ one that I have been to numerous times
It took a while to organize, but as I had said that "someday I would take him there", I was feeling a little pressure to "Make it happen". He never really believed me, just grumbled a bit under his breath, but I knew I could do it.
Fast Forward to last Saturday
There were 5 of us in all, including "Big T", we left town at about 7:30am and arived at the Trail Head by about 9:30am. Beautiful day, I unloaded my Conquests from the trailer, one on Adair Pro Tracks, and the other on 24" Frontiers. I had preped my Conquest to haul Big T in the back, I figured the extra Hp and Tracks of this machine would help. The first challenge we ran into was getting Big T in the back of the Argo ( I would like to say right here that this tale is in NO WAY a slam against large people. Big T is a BIG guy, and he is not in the best of health, he needs help with some things, and THATS why we were all out there together). Once we got T into the Argo, we packed a couple things around him, and then loaded everything else into my daughters Conquest. Hit the trail by about 11:00, we started our 10 Mile trip through the bush. I drove my daughters Conquest, and one of my buddies drove mine, with Big T in the back

We weren't 5 minutes down the trail, and The Argo I was Driving died
. Great, we can still see the truck.... One friend starts laughing..... "REALLY, Really, Broke down already? F'n Argo's, lol"
So, I rebuild the Carb right there on the trail

Off we go........ Again
The trail was a little wet, but we made it to the creek just fine:

I had a couple minor little stucks, nothing to write home about
Big T had a great time

We even managed to get T into some Walleye, which is no small feat at this time of yr

All in all, it was a good weekend. Argo's, Hunting, Fishing, Drinks, Late Nights around the fire, all that stuff.
We almost froze in the pounding rain on the way home on Monday, but there was no wiping the smile off Big T's face. He had a really good time, and although it was a lot of effort, I think all the guys would agree it was a huge success
