Recap #2 Spring / Summer 2023

A bit of street hockey and a flashback to my son’s Jr A Hockey bio.

New pickup, 2023 Ford F350 to carry my Four Wheel Camper. Ordered the F350 in October 2022 and it arrived at dealership in May 2023. 

Ordered F350 exactly the way I wanted it… For the engine, 7.3 gasser, lower gearing for my load, camper/snowplow package for extra load capacity, FX4, skid plates and upgraded shocks. Dual battery, black out package, custom interior, 12,000 Warn Winch. I have a 4300 pound payload and about 16,000 pound towing. Swapped out tires and wheels for a set of “Black Rhino” wheels, Falkin Wildpeak tires, 35x12.5x18 tires.

Got in a bit of Minnesota backcountry snowboarding… haha! Hiking a good hill with a bit of tree snowboarding in farmcountry.

Met da local loggers this morning… ha! 

That’s why the road is plowed out so good.

All good, they are currently cutting logs for a log home up towards Walker. 

They couldn’t get their tire chains on… well I happened to have an add-a-chain link in my truck so I helped them get the chain on the tire.

I befriended a logger, had some extra individual chain links, I gave them to him to help mount the chains on their semis. He told me about an area they just finished cutting. The logs are for a log home building company in Walker. It's about 4 miles off the pavement, they basically cut a new road, so it is remote. 

Ice fishing village out on a lake in the area. Good times driving the ATV out on the ice.

Big time logging tractor to access the remote timber the loggers were cutting for the log homes.

Safe travels and good adventures to you’all. 

Heading to Montana for some good mountain snowboarding.

Ride on!
