Cranbrook Poker Run - February 26, 2005
What an absolutely gorgeous day. The temperature hovered around -3C the night before and got up to about 10C during the afternoon. The trails at Lumberton were groomed to perfection, as usual. Over 150 people turned out for this annual fundraiser. There were sleds of all sorts, even some old antiques. The biggest crowd pleaser though was the 'Peppmobile'.
This thing seats 4 or 5 people. It has a turbo Volkswagen engine under the hood and runs along on two modified Ski Doo tracks. Man, that thing could really go.
Another favorite was Tyler on his Yamaha Snow Sport.
There was a great crowd gathered at 'Checkpoint Three' most of the day. It was a south facing area just near to 'Fiberglass Hill' where all the big sleds were playing. Demos were available from Ranchers Supply, the Polaris dealer where I work. The 900 RMK had a lot of miles put on it that day. Seemed like everybody wanted to try it out on the hill.
The scenery around the Lumberton riding area is quite spectacular. Here are a few shots taken along the trail...
