Lansing Snowmobile Trip

After being in Pine for the last two years the Lansing crew decided to go to Featherville for a change of scenery. The weather was AMAZING both days...on Sunday we actually took some of our gear off because it was so warm. Saturday morning we stopped at Rocky Bar, which according to Jody, was once one of the most populated towns in Idaho. There were only a couple of buildings there, but during that time period there were tents galore. We explored an old house and an old bar...it was pretty cool, except for all the mouse/rat poo everywhere you stepped. Dave, Sundii, Marcy and Megan
Kelly and Diane in the house

oops...I hate it when I forget to rotate the picture. Saturday we went on a big ride to the town of Atlanta where we stopped and had drinks and played "3 ball". Saturday night we hung out at the big cabin and played cards and had a foozball tournament. There were a few really good players so it was fun. (In case you were wondering I was not one of them..Marcy kicked my hiney several times)
Sunday we decided to go to the Trinity Lakes area. We stopped at Rocky Bar again and a guy that had stopped there was nice enough to take our group picture with no less than 5 different cameras. He took a far off and close up shot with each camera..we decided his wife must scrapbook because he was a really good sport!

The ride on Sunday was incredible...the weather was so nice, and the snow was great. We stopped and had sack lunches of sandwiches, chips and candy bars on the trail. After that I had to go to the bathroom so I went behind a tree...while I was going Sundii threw a snowball at the tree and ALLL the snow(which was a ton) came crashing down on my head. Hilarious for everyone else...not so funny for me!! The worst part was that I'm squatting down with my rear hanging out, snow is everywhere on me, my nose is bleeding because ice hit it and scrapped it, and Marcy is taking my picture!! Even I had to laugh about it!! After that we found a hill that we all had fun playing on. There were a few places where you could make some good jumps which was fun. We stopped at the warming hut and signed our name to the list of people that had been there which was kind of cool.

The food was good, the weather and the snow were awesome and the people Dave works with are always fun to hang out with. We had a great time and can't wait till next year!
