100 Mile Snow Safari Forum

Just to prove that all is not what it seems.....Our very own Trail Master, Dick Leja, used some of natures' own resources to make temporary repairs to the "drag" on the Armstrong Creek Groomer.

The drag was producing a "rooster-tail" just behind the first set of cutter-blades. This rooster-tail was shooting off to the side of the drag, causing all of the snow contained in the "tail" to be deposited on the side of the trail instead of on the trail.

Timber Disk's response was to use one of the small trees that were cut down during the brushing of the trail. The tree was located and fashioned in such a position that it deflected the "rooster-tail" back into the drag so that the snow could be spread-out and packed by the drag.

Our hats off to our very own Dick Leja for showing us that even the 100 Mile Snow Safari does "GO Green" :cheers:

Yes sir it sure is! And the best is that it is listed in the Chapter just after the Chapter on How Not to P.O. Tree-huggers and Bambi Kissers! :redgrin:

I can see that you have been well versed on mggyverism. And that comes from the proper application of the rules in the book! Nice going ghostrider! :cheers:
