Conditions perfect for sledding. We decided to give our bob sleds a try on the hard packed driveway and road. Top photo is heading down and the next photo is zipping past Carol with the camera.
Below is Carol starting out and the next one is her zooming down the driveway. We have had these sleds since we moved out here 21+ years ago and have sure gotten a lot of use out of them. We tried sledding at different places but found our driveway was by far the best. We can reach speeds of 20-25 MPH and you would think at our ages we would have outgrown the kid in us - but nope, we love to sled down our icy driveway into the road and then down it as far as we can go.
We have several inches of hard packed snow on the driveway with a coat of ice on top. Hard to steer but fun for a couple of old timers. No road traffic so the way is clear and we take full advantage of it.

If I tried that I would probably end up in the trees!
I was about to say you look like your having too much fun but I am actually jealous. The wind chill, going 25 mph, must be cold on the face. Too bad you can't sled when its warm. I tried sledding on the dunes up there in the park but its not like the snow. Next you should try skiing down.
