Took the ranger for a ride at Hungry Horse Reservoir....this road will go from Hungry Horse MT to the Spotted Bear ranch...over 50 miles. In winter, it's a snowmobile trail. Figured since it has been so cold, the road might be froze up enough to take the ranger....from the damn parking lot we got about 12 miles...then trail got just one snowmobile track wide and we had to turn around or get stuck!
Will take the snowmobiles next time...lol
Will take the snowmobiles next time...lol

Interesting vehicle for photography and many other purposes, Cindy.
What size engine does your Ranger have got? Who is the manufacturer?
Impressive tires for snow.
I am sure, the people who got stuck did not have the chains tow straps or cables?
Were you able to help them?

Thanks Paul, it is a great little vehicle - we will use the heck out of it!
It is a Polaris Ranger 1000 and has an 82 HP 4 Stroke. And no on both the vehicles....neither of them had chains/tow straps or even a shovel. We could not help them out with the ranger but there were some snowmobiler's that went and got their pickups to pull them out. This happens every year with new comers to the area. They want to go check out the scenery but don't know what they need in case stuff goes wrong!
We have tire chains and a shovel in the ranger for when we get stuck....which I KNOW will happen!

Cindy, you live in a beautiful neck of the woods. I'm glad that you agree with that and have the gumption to get out and share it with the rest of us. Who was "Lost Johnny?"

I have to agree with ya on the beauty of where I live....it's amazing no matter which way you look! I have no idea how "Lost Johnny creek" got it's name....other than assuming Johnny got lost up there some time ago

You just have to know how to dress for it...many many layers!LOL! Spent many, many cold winters in Montana-Great Falls, North Dakota-Fortuna AFS, Upper Peninsula of Michigan- Calumet AFS, Northern Ontario- CFB North Bay, and Germany. From Sacramento, California- warm. Not too bad here in the Puget Sound region-high 30s low 40s little snow so far.
Still have my arctic parka, bunny boots and fat boy pants, and thermal underwear!

Cindy, I didn't realize yesterday when I looked at these, but you know, that's quite a Big Sky you have there. Someone should put that on a license plate or something...
