With most of the major items completed (other than getting the rope up) we've been working on the smaller details of the ski tow. Jay and Kricket spent the morning securing the truck into place using scrap cables, chains and straps. Galen and I hiked over to check out the progress. It was a bit slick with the new snow dusting and wet leaves. Winter is just around the corner.
When we got to the bottom of the hill they were just about done strapping the truck in place. Tying the truck in place should keep it from moving once we get the tow rope tensioned on the drive wheel.
We then hiked up the hill to secure the top bull wheel.
On another note - the rope has been ordered! It's scheduled to arrive in a few weeks. Unfortunately it is pricey as heck. 2000' ft of 1 inch multiline twisted lay rope goes for about $1,800.
Ugh...
Still worth it? Hopefully.
