Continued....
We tried to Catch Arctic Char on the ice but had little Luck.
My daughter Linnea lost a big one, must have been well above 1 kg or 2.2 lbs by the look of her Fishing rod bending heavily, sadly the Fish managed to Escape before we could reel it in.
My daughter Amanda caught a smaller Version which we put back, too small :-(
As we had no Luck Fishing we decided to go out for a sightseeing ride further into the Plains on the tundra.
We're loading up getting ready to go. Our friend Mikkel joined us.
We rode further to the west past Lake Cieknalis and across the hills towards the Stabbursdalen Valley.
We stopped on top of a hill to get a good view of the surroundings.
To the North we have two Mountains in the far distance.
Mount Skovgilrassa to the left and Mount Cokkarassa to the right.
Altitude 1010 meters and 1139 meters or 3030 ft and 3417 ft.
To the west the Plains of Sennalandet.
Notice the bare ground around the Nila.
This is created by a heard of Reindeer digging in the snow for food.
These spots melts first, so you can say that the Reindeer are partly responsible for kickstarting spring up on the tundra as they dig away a lot of snow on the spots where the snow cover is shallow. The Reindeer knows where to dig for Food, always where the snow cover is sparse.
The Reindeer herds wanders from the inland on the tundra out North to the sea this time of the year.
They graze on Reindeer moss and whatelse they can find to eat. When spring is closing in they start the migration North to the Arctic Ocean where spring always arrives 2-3 weeks Ahead of the tundra region.
Fresh grass and seaweed awaits, the Reindeer knows this and the migration starts.
In the background of this pic you can see loads of track made by several Reindeer herds passing.
You can also see the sparse Birch forest up in the Stabbursdalen valley.
To the east, in the right hand side of the pic you can see the summit of Mount Vorje.
Altitude 1020 meters or 3060 ft.
We turned around and stopped on the hill above Lake Cieknalisjavri.
A view to the east. Lake Leavnnjasjavri is in between the Mountains.
Notice the spots of open ground on the hillsides, this is where you will find the Reindeer herds looking for Food. We spotted a herd of several hundred Reindeers alongside the trail, they were grazing on the open spots where Food is easily available.
We rode past Lake Leavnnjasjavri in between the Mountains heading for the parkinglot.
On the slopes above the hill Livnasbakken.
A view back west where we came from.
Great snow up on the Tundra.
On the foot of the hill Livnasbakken.
The marshland have started to taw up, water is forming. In a week this trail will not be rideable.
The trail Ahead.
At Lake Øvrevann.
The parkinglot is up the slope.
Heidi and the kids are walking up to the parkinglot.
I hate riding on gravel, but a man gotta do what a man gotta do
Lake Øvrevann.
End trip.
End odo.
We had a great time up on the Tundra.
I hope to get at least one more ride NeXT weekend

May 12.
It's been snowing most of the day, weather have changed With Winds from the north.
Snow are staying on the ground above 300 meters or 900 ft.
Temps this morning was +1C or 33F
The weather forecast for the NeXT two days are;
Clear blue skies, Northern Winds, calm With temps barely above freeze mid day.
Temps at night are at or below freeze.
It's looking good for the last weekend of riding.
We have two trails that are open until May 18.
The one further North starts at a higher altitude and will probably be rideable until late May, but on May 18. it's over due to legislation.
Made by enviro leftist from the Southern part of the country :-(
Until 1984 we had no legistation to limit the use of a snowmobile.
Now the enviro nazi's have us all bound and gagged.
The fine to ride off season is a staggering Kr 8000,- NOK or $1350USD
I hope the weather stays Nice... and I'll be out NeXT sunday for the final ride of the season.

I did not go out on May 18 :-(
Those who did reported great conditions on the tundra.
Spring finally arrived in town, temps at 15C or 59F.
All trails are now closed.
It's still a lot of snow at altitude and on the tundra.
I'm done.
The Arctic night is a wage memory.
The Arctic day has arrived with 24/7 sunshine for the NeXT 60 days.
I won't sleep much until fall LOL
