Native American Ride
Posted by Rags (Plano, United States) on 24 January 2008 in Transportation.
So for those who have never seen a Native American Snowmobile. Here it is! The Eskimos use this contraption to cruise over the snow in their search for good places to fish. I kinda wish i had a ride like this!

Thanks for the look, Rags. I've never seen anything like this. This one looks so well used as well. Excellent shot.

That looks like a cool ride, but I bet they cost loads driving it to work everyday, and the neigbours in my street might complain if I parked it outside......

@Richard_Irwin: LOL! You are so right!

That is ingenious, Kanyi! Those Native Americans sure knew/know what they're doing!

@Ginnie: You are right Ginnie! There is a lot we can learn from them, and vice versa.

This is a very early snowmobile, built in the 40's and 50's. The inventor, J.A Bombardier, started out in a small village about 25 minutes from Granby. Today the company he started has grown to a worldwide conglomerate building anything from planes to trains. The link to the Bombardier Museum is here.

Absolutely outstanding work, Kanyi. And so are all your posts I've missed this past week as well. Truly awesome. I’m so sorry, the part of my brain that usually will say more is not cooperating very well these days. I have tried to explain more in my (over-lengthy!) post today. Best of wishes always to you and yours, Kanyi.

wow, this looks very warm and comfy. Job well done. By the way, did you know that most native people of northern Canada and Alaska (Eskimos) like to be refered to as Inuit

That's pretty amazing! Looks like something from a science fiction film.

This looks like it was taken in Washington, DC at the native American museum. Is that where it was taken?
