| There isn't enough snow |
 |
| Checking out the view |
 |
| Beauty day :) |
 |
| When nobody was stuck! |
 |
| Let's see what kind of trouble we can get into over there |
 |
| No worries - it's just a dusting |
Great to see so many of our new riders out yesterday (Saturday). The club has about 17 new members this year. If you have suggestions on where you want to ride and whether a weekday or weekend works better for you, please send an email to the club at ilsnowmobileclub@gmail.com
This is your club too, so make it work for you! Otherwise the more experienced riders will probably choose "deeper snow" riding areas
Not the best snow conditions yesterday, could certainly use a reset BUT really good company!
That's what it's all about.

| Lunch stop (the best stop) - Little Green Lake Road area |
 |
| Checking out the old cabin at Jack Frost Lake - sign allowing the Club to use it. I guess the packrats think they're club members! Roof has seen better days. |
Yesterday was one of those near perfect Cariboo days. All that was missing to make it perfect was fresh powder and the Blog Editor (tee hee)

What!!! Has it really been that long since the last blog post.
Still in disbelief that the riding season is over. What an amazing sport, especially during a pandemic.
Late season riding was a surprise. A few unexpected snow falls kept us riding just one more ride.
Here's some random photos from the past month. Enjoy!

Okay, just a little sad that the riding season is over. Have an amazing summer everyone.
