Yaktrax Versus Sheet Metal Screws

Que the theme to Rocky...
Coming this Saturday to a snowy Mt. near you.

It's Yaktrax

Versus

$2 worth of regular old sheet metal screws.

I only used 17 screws per shoe, but I might bump that up to 20 or 23.

I copied this idea from http://www.skyrunner.com/screwshoe.htm. We'll see which one does better in our NW snow.





Here are some pictures from my visit to Greenlake during Dizzy Days. I took the kids out for one loop. It only took us 2 hours.





It's a good thing Linda was wearing her football pants. She obviously stopped and played a few downs on the way around the lake.
