My best friend Neil who I sold my snowmobile to went out for the first time. This is what happened.

He is fine after 20 hours in the wild at 10+- degrees. In fact I am here with him now having dinner with my GF and his wife.

He now says he is riding lakes only.

I said that is worse, he said at the very least I know where I am.

Glad your friend is all right. Maybe you should buy the snowmobile back from him.

Glad he made it. Props to him for keeping his head.

Nice friends not to "babysit" a newbie on a snomobile!

Glad he kept his wits and did the right thing. Too many people die doing things like that. Time to celebrate!
