No rougher than boulder lol!

Watch out for big frost heaves so you don’t launch your sxs lol

Orient up to Pierre lk road isn’t bad, just a dirt road and a bit steep for a few miles.

I had thought you were coming up 395

You owe me a fishing report!   Good luck

So we just did a drive by at Pierre today. We’ll hit it in a few days. We took sand creek over. Looks like the camping/launch area hasn’t been plowed for awhile but people are driving in there. There were a couple guys out there today.

Okay, so we hit Pierre lake today. Got there a little late but still did well. Caught a crap ton of LM bass, 2 were pretty nice and I kinda regret not taking them home for dinner. The husband caught a dang nice a Brookie, I made a grave mistake trying to pick it up by it’s mouth with my fingers and cut the crap out of my thumb, toothy! As long as we were in 20ish feet and weedy bottom we saw fish. I’d like to go back one more time before the thaw.

If I had known I would have drove past. Spent the day putting the front track back on my Honda. Could have used a break.

Is it not safe to take your snowmobile out on the ice?

I haven’t got any!



Were you the one asking about my hitch setup?

It’s pretty cheesy, but it hauled up a big load and broke trail doing it

It’s just a strap of round baler belting around the grab bar and a thru bolt lol

I can’t find a proper hitch because I have a van amburg tunnel extension, because my kid rear ended me!

I haven’t made a smitty sled, I just can’t find a good reason to use a Otter or jet sled either to do it either

If I make one it’s probably going to be a used car topper rack, my daughter has a real nice one sitting in the garage…. Hmmm

If I made it removable I could take it off just like off her car by using a couple cross bars like a car but going to skis

Buddie of mine made a wooden box with a hinge lid and screwed it to a runner sled, it’s a bit tippy but is really nice to drag compared to my sled.
Yes that way me asking about your hitch for your snowmobile, on the kids flat Polaris bumper I just drilled a hole and put an I-bolt in, my round aluminum bumper I didn’t want to do that, still haven’t rigged up anything for it yet.
