In winter, Maine kids don't hibernate inside camped out on the couch vegging on television and video … (13 comments)

maine snowmobiling: When I Was 10, A Johnson Skee Horse Snowsled Was Pretty Hot Stuff On The Snow! - 12/14/07 07:32 PM
The Johnson Skee Horse like the one pictured from 1966 was a 14 horsepower screamer for the time. As long as you were on a driveway, hard crust or a frozen lake, it ran super.
