I always look forward to the club’s annual valentine run from Fairbanks to Nenana, I only wish the river or should I say my sled felt the same way. Last year the shaft broke on the Panther, this year the dog gone chain case went.
Now I did buy a nice new M-6 after last year’s breakdown and had planned to put lots of mile on it this season, but as you all know the snow has be lacking and thus my time on the new sled as well. So I figured I’d take the Panther down and back, heck, shouldn’t be any problem with a new shaft and all, and it wasn’t on the way down…..
Lunch was good at the Mondo as always and think everyone enjoyed themselves. It was curious, as we started out with 22 sleds and had 23 by time we got there for lunch :sled:
But no one was complaining and we even got a couple of good group photo ops in.
Well, I didn’t get to make the return trip as the chain case gave out. At least it happened with 20 feet of the parking lot, so for me this is where the story ends. But I did enjoy the ride down and lunch.
