I headed north last month for Copper Harbor’s 5th Annual Antique Snowmobile Run for Fun event. It was day two of the weekend-long festivities and my friend and I arrived just in time for the sled display in The Mariner North parking lot (followed by a free hot dog cookout shortly after).

We watched as the sleds trickled in — some sputtering, some roaring. There was an occasional dropoff by the sled medic — Canfield’s invention for snowmobiles that break down beyond repair along the trail.
