Jeepin
The day starts with the removal of parts.
Free from the confines of doors and roof, we set off.
Two Jeeps, two snowmobiles, seven friends.
Adjustments are made to tackle snow in four wheel drive.
What the sleds float over the Jeeps claw through.
This is merely the entryway.
A vast playground lay before us.
Digging tread marks into powder only churned by sled tracks.
We follow the power lines further into the woods.
Some hills require multiple attempts.
That doesn't stop us.
We press on.
All the while taking time to enjoy the fresh air.
Snow concealing the frozen ground beneath.
Still we remain undeterred.
Bounding forth.
Never satisfied
with the point we've come to.
Alas we regroup.
Gathered we depart.
Racing to the cabin.
Gravity on our side.
Sleds crack throttles wide.
Threading through trees they glide.
Trees where Jeeps loose stride.
Another clearing we gather.
Content we exit.
As the evening awaits.
Scores are settled.
Darts don't lie.
