Show 6A lakeside Review South, Wednesday, May 4, 1983 Snow AAeaehine Blazes Trails i Fb Adventurous By RON KNOWLTON Review Staff BOUNTIFUL The orange machine with large metal tracks slowly descends alover a snowcapped hill most like a tank. It leaves deep grooves in the snow behind it. Snowmobilers like to see the machine because it provides trails which they can follow and allows them to climb to places where they ordinarily couldnt. But Bob Shane, owner of the orange machine, doesnt particularly like to see the snowmobiles following in his path. Shane owns four orange .snowcats and can often be seen traversing the mountains of Utah. It gives you a new lease on life when you can get away like this for a while, he said. On this particular day Shane has taken along a re- porter and photographer. the snowcat climbs the base of a mountain just above Bountiful, we pass a jeep stuck in the snow. The jeeps driver spins the wheels of the vehicle trying to climb higher, but finally gives up, turns around and goes back. As we continue our climb, a long series of snowmobile tracks spreads out in front of As tracks eventually end, until fresh unmarked us. The snow is of us. all that is left in front The panoramic valley with the Great Salt Lake and city below sparkle in the midday sun. Shanes dog, Ginger, leans forward and peers through the glass windshield in front. Occasionally, she looks back through the rear window. Shane recalled taking his five children now grown along with him on trips to the We had the mountains. whole area to ourselves. There were no signs of civilization. I used to have hundreds of miles of wilderness territory to myself. It was great. You wouldnt believe it, he sighs. Then someone invented the snowmobile. I tried to figure out ways to cover my tracks so the damn snowmobile couldnt follow me, but I couldnt do it, he smiles. Shane is dressed in green overalls, glasses and a green and white cap. The snowcat is controlled by two levers; there is no steering wheel. As Shane attempts to climb one hill, the snowcat becomes stuck in the snow. He grabs a shovel and starts digging snow away from the machines metal tracks. Sometimes its hard to get traction, he explained. Thats when the shovel comes in handy. There have been times when he had to dig a road out behind the machine to get it out. He also brings along snow shoes and theres a CB radio inside the cab of the machine in case of trouble. Everybody wonders why had more than one (snowcat). You had to have two one to go up and get the other one out, he said as he tossed another shovelful of snow off to the side. The snowcat can climb 100 percent grade, if I have traction, he said. Ive I nearly turned it over wards a few times. It scares you. Its getting to where some of my friends wont back- ride with me anymore. Shane admits that hes fearful now of leaving a snowcat stuck in its tracks in the mountains. He has passed vehicles that were stuck and vandalized after the owner left. Thats why Id never have a cabin in the mountains. If they can get to it, Davis to Appeal Fee Decision ( By BARRY KAWA Review Staff FARMINGTON The Davis County Board of Health voted Unanimously Tuesday to appeal a court order prohibiting the county from charging a restaur-- , ant inspection fee. Deputy County Attorney Gerald Hess recommended the appeal in Tuesdays meeting after a request for a new hearing was rejected by Second District Judge Douglas Cornaby. The court order prohibits the such as food handlers permits, inspection of swimming pools and inoculations. Hess said the department will obey the court order and is presently considering returning the fees collected. He said filing an appeal is a lengthy process, one that could take up to a year in they can get in and take what they want. Shane began his hobby nearly 20 years ago when he bought four snowcats from the Federal Aviation Administration in an auction. They cost him $1,000 each, but some had blown engines. He fixed them up and sold them. He has since bought and sold many more snowcats. He is now down to a total of four and Shane said he would like to sell two of those. A new snowcat costs about $40,000. He has a Quonset hut in his backyard where he does maintenance and repair work on some 26 pieces of equipment. Shane has everything from motorcycles to snowmobiles and boats. At 64, hes more active than many men half his age. I consider myself really lucky. I can do what I want now. But many of his friends and associates no longer enjoy the good health that Shane does. Shane said he does exercises each day and lifts 150 pounds in weights for one hour each day. He claims he can outwork some of his kids. To continue his lifestyle and enjoy his equipment, Shane said I have to associate with people 20 years younger than me. People work all their lives to enjoy their retirement and then they go all to pot because they havent kept in shape. THIS SUNDAY...

People had come from all over to participate in the race, Shane recalls. But it snowed the night before. Several snowmobiles attempted to make trails, but they became bogged down. Race organizers became desperate and called the Division of Parks and Recreation to see if they had any ideas on what could be done. Shane came up early the next day with his snowcat and made the trails. He and his daughter, Pat became honorary members of the dog sled racing club. His daughter has since taken up the sport.
