Yes..
I watched your snowmobile video on FB, what is that thing you're carrying on your back? A shovel?

Hahaha. Tools required in case there is an avalanche. In the pack, I carry a shovel, 2M probe, a small camp stove, extra food, extra socks, extra gloves, survival pack with odds and ends. Used the duct tape and bailing wire to attach handlebars to the sled. LOL

Sure isn't.
I plan on a few more such trips this year! Our company guidelines for travel are much different than when I started. At a certain point the mileage they paid exceeded airfare costs, so they discouraged it. Now I get a monthly payout plus half the Federal mileage rate, which means they encourage me to drive, which I greatly prefer to flying. Most of my territory can be reached in 6 hours or less by car, so it works. And my farthest account, Sturgis, is worth the ride. I'm already planning for my next business trip there in late June.
