Ahya, must be wintah in Maine


Does this not remind you of "Christmas Story"? Or perhaps Maggie Simpson?


The Sled...
Yes, this is the double runner sled that was modified by Matt's dad and used when Matt was a whee little lad. It works really well on ice and hard packed snow - I used it on Monday to walk with her to Pat's Market, there was plenty of pointing and staring from folks out driving around.


The modified version of the sled...
Yup, Matt modified the modified sled - thanks to Jim and Ellen and an old pair of Rossies Miss Althea can now glide along on the fresh powpow. We also modified the seat - well a little anyways - for now she is getting propped up with a thick blanket (not pictured above) but the long term fix is one of our camp chairs/thermarest.


Ellen, Digger and Jim were happy to see Althea using the old Rossie boards on her new rig.
