Playing in a small pool in a creek on the way out and Russ sank to the bottom (darn ported tracks) in water to the top of his headlights. Dumped the airbox, pulled the plugs and sprayed some water and pulled a few times and it started. Steamed, smoked and idled rough for a while then all was good. Don't think it did a lot of good for the bearings though. Pic# 1, getting ready to pull it out Pic#2, Back by shore Pic#3, Holding up front, floats suprisingly well Pic#4 Russ in middle, hard to see but he's in there. Oh ya....the water was kinda cold. The first thing we did was:alol2: and then:camera::camera: What are friends for:D:D

No can do as twin Creek is permanently closed, No April 15 opening for the ET area. Kinda sucks as it kicks over the Renshaw or anything else I've ridden in the McBride area. Fuggin caribou, actaully not cause there are no caribou there!

It's all fun and games till someone has to stand in ice water up to their junk; then ride out with two bellybuttons. :)
