Snowmobiling rocks!



I was ready for some action and fun this weekend after working through last three weekends straight. So, this last Saturday morning I went Snowmobiling with a friend of mine. The place is located in New Hampshire about 2.5 hour drive from Boston. We started out early in the morning at 7, got some nice eggs and pancakes at IHOP and then headed straight to the snowmobile rental place. It was a nice scenic drive to the mountains and since we had reservations made, we geared up once we got there and started right away. It was a little scary at first but once I got used to it, it was a lot of fun, more so than jet skiing which I'm a big fan of. It wasn't snowing that day but they had already got over a foot earlier. The paths for the snowmobiles run with the normal roads up there and at times intersect too. So, there are traffic signs on the pathways just like your normal roads and you have to abide by them. We took a guided tour since it was our first time. One thing that was noticeable about the mobiles was that they had hand warmers built in the steering, they came in handy cause it was below freezing even though we had our gloves on. Also, they can go very fast, I touched 50 mph, felt really good, but had to slow down since there were people in front of me :)
