Another photo from the 1977 Cantwell, Alaska test. The new machines being delivered for evaluation:

Anchorage Airport ready to load on truck for 200 mile ride to Cantwell. These were production sleds. Drove 10 hrs. 6 days a week. for 4 weeks. These sleds never came back to Horicon. After we finished our evaluation test we went to the city landfill and scraped them all. Cantwell had a population of about 50. After we left they started digging. The next year when we went back we seen one was cobbled together and running!!!! those people never throw anything away so I'm sure there still there. Good work Matt! Keep them coming

The Cantwell residents saved snowmobiles from getting scrapped. Sounds familiar!

Great pictures, Matt.
