Snowmobiling blues...

Wyoming terrain is as varied as you can find; badlands to sage to high meadows to alpine forest; you can get that transition in a matter of 10 miles in a few places. I like all the mixed high meadow and forest areas anywhere out in the northern Rockies; very pretty, and the grasses are a sign of deep snow in winter.

But it sure is nice that you can just drive out a ways, go riding, and then drive back home.
Yes living in the outer Southeast Portland area we still live under 100 foot pine trees and I fight the moss on my roof constantly LOL but it's an hour and 15 minutes to the parking lot where we launch our snowmobiles. And my wife was saying if the snow isn't good next week and the weather is we should go to the beach with the dogs which is about an hour and a half or less the other way and we can drive out onto the beach put out our chairs and watch the dogs run a muck...
Actually we're just as close to mount st. Helens over in Washington. what we need to find some people that snowmobile over there and join them and learn some new stuff. We have been to hoodoo, and stop there for an afternoon ride on our way to Paulina Lake for a couple days of riding. I think one of the more epic trail rides was going to the top of Mount Bailey at 8000 feet on the peak. The groomed Trail up there is quite awesome..
