Homeward bound on the snow mobile

Here is the update from Misty: "The guys are HOMEBOUND!! Everything worked out with getting the Anti-freeze to them. A BIG thankyou to Mansey! He came with his Super Cub on skis, picked me and the anti-freeze up and we flew it out to them.  Perfect timing too, they were just parking the equipment and getting everything settled.  We landed in a slew not too far from them, they already had the machines unloaded so they drove right out to us!  Barney was SURPRISED!  The last time I talked to him he thought someone was snow machining out.  This worked MUCH better.  And it is a beautiful day for a super cub ride!!  Now I am going to get back to making dinner.  BBQ steaks, chicken, making potato salad, Cali corn and fresh rolls!!"
He was booking it home.  His max speed on the snowmobile was 44mph and he traveled a mere 38.82 miles with 5' snow bank on either side in the wilderness.  I noticed his battery on his tracker was reading low so it was a scary situation for us watching.  But....he made it home at 8:41!  I bet he is one tired pilot, but look at the feast waiting for him. 
Super Cub that Misty and Mansey (the guy that sold George and Dave the excavator) flew out in. 
That's Barney on the right.  The are out on the trail.  The plane had to land on skids as you can see.  So beautiful in the background.
