Snowmobilers saddle up for a Snodeo in Maine

I would definitely have to have a hot cocoa waiting for me after enduring such cold temperatures, but the Snodeo looks like fun to me. Giddyup!

I sold my sled several months ago and seeing these photos really makes me miss having it.

    Snow Machines of the Deep Freeze.

    I've never driven a Snow Machine. They look very tempting for an old Moto Cross guy like myself. As a Phrog I could get into going out to capture some shots and then, like Katie said, head back to camp for a steaming hot mug-o-cocoa.

    For now I'll take the 75 degree days in SB.
