Snowmobile Trails

It's snowing now and the temp. is going below zero tonight so thought I'd post this picture I took a few days ago.

I was driving down the road the other day and saw a tractor with a yellow flashing light on top driving through the ditch pulling something flat. I wondered why he was in the ditch and why he wasn't sinking in the snow! That night I told Bill that I saw something unusual and described it. He said "oh, that's the leveler making the snowmobile trail". You can see the trail in this picture. They have marked any posts or other things sticking up with little caution signs. This goes for miles! It's interesting to me that they go to so much trouble for snowmobilers here! I wish I would've taken a picture of the leveler!
