It's been a wild and crazy snowmobiling season in Northern New York. One we took ample advantage of. Snow pack was plentiful for most of the season. I tallied a staggering 1,835 snowy miles on my tracked Cat.
Our first ride of the season was a day trip to the Adirondacks to meet up with a couple of riding buddies. Not enough snow home yet required us to trailer the sleds 60 miles North and 1259 feet closer to the clouds to Inlet, NY.

We rode out from Inlet into the Moose River Plains (MRP) primitive wilderness area.

40 plus mile to the Cedar River Flow ranger station with Liz.
It's about 40 miles from the ranger's station in Inlet to the seasonal ranger's station at the Cedar River Flow outlet. During the summer through late fall, this area is used for primitive hiking, camping, hunting with dirt road access to areas throughout. When the snow flies, the local snowmobile clubs maintain groomed trails spanning the area and providing access to the rest of the Adirondacks.

Just a few days later we drove back up to
Old Forge for their tree lighting.
Spent the rest of our season exploring New York's trail system. So fortunate to live where we live! Enjoy the slide show below with a few of the views along our trails we got to enjoy this past season.
One of the coolest events we road to this winter was the Model T snowmobile event.
You may think it's all about getting out and enjoying our beautiful piece of the world. Not quite. I've said before, it's not the ride but the food we find at the end.
The Norridgewock Lodge is a unique place. Not only do they have great food and rooms but the only way to get there in the winter is by snowmobile. There is not a single road to the lodge. During the summer they rely on rail and boat for deliveries and patrons. We road in with our newest friend from down state Greg and his buddies.

Cedar Pine in Redfield has some of the best wings I've had.
French Dip?
Pin Tree Inn, Brantingham
This was supposed to be a French dip sandwich. Take a look at that bun and at the container I was expected to dip it into! As a kid I was pretty good at putting the blocks in the correct slots so I can tell you that bun will not fit.
