It took a while but we finally got everything packed and ready for travel.
Put the vehicles on battery trickle chargers to keep the batteries up while gone. We've found these little chargers keep the batteries at a full state of charge and prevent the batteries from sulfating and going bad while not being used. The riding lawn mower has one of these chargers attached all winter and we have yet to buy a battery in the spring for the unit. Search Amazon.com for 'battery trickle chargers' if you want to know more...

The snowmobile is going out this trip. Folks on the mountain tell me I need to have one if we are to get around in the winter. We picked up a Polaris two cylinder Indy Trail sled as they are supposed to be very reliable and simple to maintain - so far so good as it has been easy to service and parts are easily found. Spend several days cleaning and painting various bits and pieces to get it looking nice. Once on the mountain I get to re-jet the carbs for the thinner air.

| Trailer loaded for trip |
The trailer has that 'Grapes of Wrath' look partially due to our hauling out trash containers. We are responsible for our own trash hauling so we did quite a bit of research as to what type of container works best - part of the issue is making sure whatever we use is bear resistant. These two units will fit side by side in our storage shed and should be safe from critters. This all sounds good on paper - we'll see how it works in real life .
