Yesterday fired up the D8 with the 13 foot blade and plowed the crude logging trail down to the Hope "International Speedway" Road. First I tried the Case 450B with the 9 foot blade, and that was a failure at moving 6 foot of snow.

ALASKA is a "HARD COUNTRY for OLDMEN". (But if you live it wide'ass open, balls'to the wall, the pedal floored, full throttle, it is a delightful place, to finally just sit-back and savor those memories while sipping Tequila).
