racinfarmer Posted April 4, 2017 Share Posted April 4, 2017 77k should pay for 3-5 interns for the summer or a full time person for the year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good gig. There must be an abundance of applicants for the job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd love to sled through Yellowstone, but to do so at my pace on my sled isn't going to happen ever again in my lifetime. I'd love to go flying past a tourist group on the Viper and zip around there for 3-4 days enjoying the park. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While its nice there are much more scenic places to ride out west. I rode in Teton National Park before it was completely closed to sledders. We rode in there for a couple hours 2 feet of fresh on the trail and didn't run into another sled. Amazing day riding almost at the base of the Tetons. Just found some pictures of that ride the other day. We rode from Togwotee thru TNP to Old Faithful and back. About a 350 mile day. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could deal with 55 in the park, but give me a big long straight and I might get a little rambunctious in a 1/2 mile at a time. Do they have much of a trail system out there? Obviously not Teton anymore, but other areas around there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were running late getting them back by the deadline and I'm dead serious when I say we held them wide open for about 75 miles. Top speed was right at 55. Never seen a sled go so far on E. We laugh about it to this day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On top of that bringing in that Ranger to the press conference makes it look phony as hell to me. That was politics and most politics are wrought with phoniness. Not as bad as some of the things Obama did. The Bowe Bergdahl parents news conference comes to mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The trail system around Togwotee is pretty extensive however the stops are few and far between. Grooming can be hit or miss especially on some of the main trails. If that's your thing you can put some serious miles on but you will be hitting some trails multiple times pending your starting point. Off trail riding is obviously where its at. Trails are just the means to get to them. Some of the best riding area's are 15-20 miles by trail from the lodge and many people avoid them because of that or simply don't know about them. Milages are listed between intersections. http://wyotrails.state.wy.us/pdf/ContinentalDiv2016_Small.pdf Edited April 4, 2017 by Highmark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think that trail system is really limited but I've heard of good things regarding the off trail riding. Don't think any of that area compares to the western part of the state regarding scenery and off trail riding opportunities. Really good but not as good as the western part of wy. https://www.fs.usda.gov/Internet/FSE_DOCUMENTS/stelprdb5274222.pdf Edited April 4, 2017 by Highmark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legend Posted April 4, 2017 Share Posted April 4, 2017 Probably a couple hundred miles of trails by West Yellowstone. Those trails are groomed well. Much better then by Togwotee, and Snowies trails up top are just good enough to get from point A to point B. If you are going sight seeing an shit, Id do West Yellowstone/Island Park area first. Plenty of scenic stuff, and can ride a trail sled to top of Two Tops mtn and Lionshead. Towgotee, West Yellowstone, and the Snowys all have large off trail riding areas. Snowys usually has the least amount of people. But all the good riding is over 10K ft at Snowys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For somebody who loved being in the spotlight.....why oh why that fucking updo? And his hot supermodel wife can't tell him it looks idiotic? Whatever...maybe he's hung like an alpha gorilla or hassuperman like tongue finesse. Course...there is that little bit of cashola he keeps tucked under the mattress also.
