As intended the trek from Cold Lake to Lake Athabasca was a trailer ride not a snowmobile ride. It was a clear disappointment for all.
On a good note, Dick Woodruff took his snowmobile to a metal fabricating shop and they where able straighten and weld things back in place. As the owner of the shop was reported to have said, "It ain't pretty, but it will get you back on the trails." The total cost of the repairs was less than $200 dollars, and Dick was ALL SMILES - Welcome back Dick!
If there is a downside to this trip, it is the fact that by its very nature as snowmobile trip, one is not afforded the opportunity to explore the cities and small villages when passing through.
It's no ones fault, it's just how it is.
Bill Bradfield came through once again; he contacted the local, Athabasca River Runners Snowmobile Club and they invited us to all to banquet dinner at their club house.
Not only did they have great food, but when the "hat was passed" to reward them for their efforts; they, without hesitation, graciously gave the $250 dollars that was collected, back to the "Diabetes Research Institute" - Many thanks to the Athabasca River Runners Snowmobile Club.
MichCanSka, lest we forget, is a charity snowmobile run than was set up to support the Diabetes Research Foundation, which is dedicated to finding a cure for this dreadful disease.
