A Long Slog
Home
I've never had any really bad
experience with the weather. I've gone on boat and snowmachine rides
and had some encounters with rough waves and snow storms but I
usually got home on time. I do remember one time, though, when I went
to Pilot Station to pick up my cousin, Anthony Nick Jr., on February
23 of this year. The day before it was snowing all day and all night,
so on the day I went down there was a lot of fresh snow. It was about
three to four feet deep plus it was still snowing hard.
In the morning I called to see how
things were going and Jr. told me to come down and pick him up. In 30
minutes I was ready and on my way. It took me maybe two hours to get
down there because the trail had a lot of snow on it. In fact there
was hardly even a trail, just little ruts where a sno-go had already
gone. When I got there Jr. and I went to the gas station and got a
couple of gallons, then we started on our way back. But the trail was
worse than it was when I came down. There was a lot of fresh deep wet
snow covering the trail I'd made an hour before and it was hard going
because we kept peeling off even though we were going fairly fast. By
the time we got to Monarch Slough about 6 or 7 miles down the river
from Marshall we ran out of gas.
When we first started walking it was
fun but when we got tired we wished a snowmachine or even a dog team
would come by. We were walking through wet snow and our clothes were
getting wet. After walking only three miles we were very tired and we
started bitching at things, especially at Greg who was in Marshall
and knew we wouldn't have taken that long to get home. We finally saw
the lights of Marshall about 3 to 4 miles out and every time we saw a
snowmachine light we got happy, but it would always turn away and we
were mad again. About one mile out I got so pissed off I started to
walk faster until we got home.
We had walked for three hours and for
most of the trip we were wet. We were even going to leave our coats
behind at one point, but lucky we didn't because we got cold after a
while. If there had been less snow we would have made it here in two
hours or less.
