There were 4 snowmobiles in our bay yesterday jumping over the open water around a neighbours boathouse. They are first snowmobilers we've seen this year because the lake ice is so unstable......and so too must be their minds!
Sometimes I wonder where the brains have gone!
If I could I'd get all the mechanized vechicles out of the forest and these clowns on a chain gain planting trees. Boom & gary of the Vermilon River, Canada.
