Sunshine ride! Lake Durant toward Newcomb
I almost kept this ride “off-book” as Sgt. Voight says on Chicago P.D. In the end, I felt compelled to share with the ilsnow nation, because it was such a wonderful afternoon!

Perkins Clearing snowmobiling play day

After getting skunked for riding last […]
