It was an a awesome event Aaron. That caravan of ATV's and snowmobiles was out a good 200 yards on the ice and went all the weigh past the weigh-in trailer and to the top of the park entrance, incredible.

That was a trip and a half! What an experience we had in Minnesota, it was amazing...

Special thanks again to Joe/Jeremy from Wisconsin! There are some real class acts in this sport.

Thanks doug.. The only battle scars thus far was Kyle getting up close and personal with his strikemaster hand auger, right Kyle

[CNY-Kyle]

For those who are wondering about my battle scar, it goes like this....

I drilled a hole and then half drilled my auger into the ice next to me and started fihing...

I get up to move, reached over to grab my auger and ripped it to get it out of the hole, well the handel sung and i basically punched myself in the nose with the handel....

I went to my knees and saw stars!! So then i felt the warnming sensation of the blood starting to flow, and flow it did for the next 3 minutes....it was swollen for the rest of the day and around my eye turned a little yellow to blue.

So be carful when grabbing for you auger quickly!

Hotties and Minessota dont belong in the same sentance! They have lakes, not hotties....

[CNY Tim]

Your right Kyle we weren't there for sightseeing but there were a couple of hot and totties at the caribou, but I have to say the timanti's were hotter..
