Snowmobile Destinations – Iron Range, Minnesota
There’s no doubt that it has been a tough year for snowmobilers and anyone who has a business that requires snow to be profitable.

Thinking outside the box is where inventions come from. That and the need to get things done simpler and easier. In the 1920′s Armstead created a screw-propelled vehicle by combining a Fordson tractor and helical pontoons. They also fitted the pontoons on a Chevrolet car.
