Stevo's Wild Ride...

 Sleddin is if nothing else, always an adventure.  Stevo had a near catastrophic event with the sled a few days ago that turned out a ok.  He lost control of his sled at the end of the day due to fatigue and it went on a non-piloted ride through the trees.  Away from Stevo the sled with a mind of its own charged, down a gull, and smack dab into its eventual demise, a massive downed pine tree.

The bumper took most of the blow.

 We determined that we would have to go under the tree as opposed to trying to turn the sled around and go back uphill.  Luckily we all carry saws so the limbing effort wasnt too bad!

 Proper stuck.

 Clearing the handle bars under the huge log was the challenge.  HEre we still had about 8" to drop in elevation.

 Freedom!

Stevo, a happy camper with a freed sled.
