Not sure about the wolf burgers in the second picture and those rather fierce-looking chaps, one of whom looks like he’s just eaten a wolf burger and wasn’t keen. Great pictures. Thanks for showing them. Regards Kev.

I didn't start again until 2 years ago. It comes back and there's no need to impress anyone - just enjoy. Easy does it on snow and ice. 4-wheel drive and snow tires are a must. A little dicey when we were directed up a mountain pass by the GPS. Note to se...
