Snowmobilers bring $128M into the economy of my county every year. We are thankful for the money. In return we send home 4-12 dead, 40-100 or so get life-flighted out as the nearest hospital is 70 miles away. There are untold hundreds/thousands of other less serious injuries. There is a common thread in nearly all these accidents. Some weekend wannabe snow jockey decides to ignore the speed and other laws while zooming through the 1 million acre National Forest. We even had two of them kill themselves hitting the exact same tree exactly 7 days apart...both had just left the same bar! Then there are those who bar hop across our frozen lakes. Not knowing where springs or strange currents run, some of them hit soft ice. We leave their bodies in the water until spring when they float to the surface. Those who don't die wish they had... the DNR fines you $500 a day for water pollution and they hire a recovery crew for as much as $5,000 to fish the sled out. They do sell wrist spikes so you can fish yourself out but all the dead ones were too smart to wear them.

I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
