Ken,
I would love to come up to the Big Iron Shootout. Looks like a lot of fun. Are you racing? If so good luck.
We will have to get together for a ride. Sounds like you have some good snow conditions. It is about 3 hours from Spokane to Grand Forks which, at this time, I am willing to travel. I usually get up to the 12 mile area a couple times a year. that is up past Christina lake. Haven't been there this year yet 2nd to snow conditions. Looks like that will be changing soon.
J.
