Talking ......ugh-ugh-ugh!

Here's my poor man's guide to winter snowmobiling:

Probably the smartest move you'll make here is to totally forget about it. It's all very expensive and includes the snowmobile, trailer, tow vehicle, insurance, registration, gasoline, snowmobile clothing and snowmobile helmet ...... or, for about $150-total, go do some smart shopping at swap.com for a pair of winter walking boots, and at ebay.com for snow shoes ..... and go take a winter hike somewhere local like the Meredith Page Pond Town Forest http://www.meredithnh.org/conservati...nd-town-forest or the www.belknaprangetrails.org in Gilford.

Winter walking has the advantage of no black flies and no mosquitoes, plus you and all your clothes don't end up smelling like snowmobile gasoline exhaust .... ugh, ugh, ugh. ......

More than half the time when you go out with snow shoes, you end up just carrying them along for the walk, tied to your day-pack because there wasn't enough snow or the snow on the trail was too packed down to really need the snow shoes.
