So, we were in a quandary about a situation at Mt. Matt. Where we are building the Tumbleweed House is up the logging trail on the hill. The Element was unable to up that trail. For the most part, we can easily walk up to the cabin site. We do not want to build a road of any sort up there and we don't want to buy a pickup truck. Part of the reason was bought a mountain was to keep it natural. But, while we're building we'll need to get building supplies up the trail and once the Tumbleweed House is built we will need to get some groceries and such to the house as well.

oneandonlymatt called me today and he purchased a solution to this problem: http://www.polarisindustries.com/en-us/ATV/2007Models/Hawkeye/Hawkeye4x4/
It is the green one!

Due to the current economic climate, we were able to get a great deal on it. It was at a dealer on consignment. It was bought really as a utility vehicle not so much a recreational vehicle. We are also going to get a small trailer and, the best part, we are going to get the trail mower hitch. This will help us a great deal to keep the meadows clear.

I am SOOO excited about it. I need to get a super cool helmet.
