    Some cool stuff there... I even recognized quite a few! No Tuckers there, though.. a museum just about 2 hours south of us has a few of those old sleds and there's still a few around here that are being used.....

    You can go to "think snow" and click on the thumbnails for some bigger pics.
    It's quite the place...a guy needs a good afternoon at least to see most of it!!

    I'll post some when I get a few minutes....

    I've seen a few of those. I have a friend in Alaska with the 10 and 12 both restored. 12 is a Polaris traveler, 1958 IIRC. 10 is probably an early Arctic cat. The one with the power unit with an articulated seat thing, I've seen those, Bolens made one.

    man--i would enjoy that place in Polson--having been to harold warp's pioneer village in nebraska back in the early 70's is still one of the highlights in the old memory bank--i don't recall very many snow machines and only a few motorcycles, but the steamers and other farm equipment were awesome
