Snowmobiling Experience

Six years ago, I had my first snowmobile experience in Yellowstone, Montana. Cooke City is surrounded by the mountains and located just 4 1/2 miles outside of Yellowstone National Park. It is a small Western town that is also known as the hidden gateway and only 4.5 miles to Yellowstone. The Beartooth Mountains are located between Cooke City & Red Lodge, Montana and is rated one of the top 5 most scenic drives.
Snowmobiling is popular in Cooke City, as well as the park and the surrounding areas, including Big Sky, Montana. You can either snowmobile the loops thru the park,which takes you more than a day to accomplish, due to the speed limit of 45 mph; or you can snowmobile outside the park on the trails, or snowmobile in the bowls. Highly recommend a snowmobile trip out here at least once in you lifetime..you wont regret it! These are pictures of the snow in Montana from Jan 21,2006

Oceanside,California is in the 30's at 3 a.m. AND Pennsylvania is in the 60's at 6 a.m. Its January! Should be the other way around. Winds in Pennsylvania are howling at about 40-50 mph this morning...some wild weather for them! Later I will post some pictures of the high surf that Oceanside, California experienced. Waves up to 15 feet...

Unseasonably warm weather

Good evening everyone...

Well....looks like Pennsylvania is having some unseasonably warm weather for the region, considering its only the second week of January 2006. Pennsylvania needs snow!! The temperatures in Pennsylvania are warmer than the temps in California right now. California mountains will also be getting their fair share of a snow dumping in the Sierras this weekend, up around the Lake Tahoe area. Time to go snowmobiling! yiha! Then, head on down to the beautiful beaches of Southern California and soak up some sun...or as we say, catch some rays... go surfing, windsailing,boating,..etc.

Happy New Year 2006!

Well...Happy New Year everyone...what did you all do for NYE?? Mine was a quiet one...was sick with a horrible head cold.....still trying to shake it. Spent a few hours at my relatives for dinner....it cost absolutely nothing!! I have to tell you...my sisinlaw is a coupon fanatic, so much so..that she can actually get the majority of her groceries for practically pennies...its a trip to hear her stories on how she does the 'couponing'.

Guess she has turned this into an ongoing hobby.....

she surfs the net for good deals and coupons,

one of the sites that she frequents is A FULL CUP.COM .

Anyways, go check it out...perhaps there will be some coupons that may be of use to you all on there.

more later,
