Over 1000

Well I have offically put 1200 kms on my sled so far this year, and Paul is over 4500 kms on his.  Paul's higher numbers are due to the trapline days, when he goes out checking and I stay home with the kids. 
We, along with the friends from the valley, finally punched through the trail we were working on and have used it already a few times in the past few weeks.  It was a lot of hard work but worth it, now we can come out on part of the road in the valley near our friends house.  We are then about 15 miles from town.  We moved our truck to near that spot and have it to travel the rest of the way to town and make our many visiting stops that we do on mail day.  The kids like the break from the snowmobiles and enjoy the truck time.
Speaking of mail day, Martina and I were staring wide-eyed at some of the other ladies mail.  On some of our recent visits with them, we couldn't help but notice their gardening catalogues.  And low and behold, they are already receiving their orders.  We are so envious of them.  Most of the ladies in the valley have quite nice garden spots and with a farmer in the valley, even have black dirt and manure!  
We have one more week of trapping for marten, wolverine and a few others, we are at 147 marten and 3 wolverine now.  All the other numbers are the same.
