Gator

A few years ago, I got to ride in a Gator
in town. Now the Cargo Handlers have a
Gator out at the runway. This is the
perfects size vehicle for me...how do I
get one? However, Steve-o is about 6'3"
and it's a bit difficult for him to get
in and out.


It looks really strange to see this little
vehicle out on the runway amongst all the
really big equipment and planes. Totally
out of place.


Of course, safety always comes first...even
with the Gator, as it's wheels are chocked when
not in use.

The Clown Car

Today, our friend Sean gave me a ride in the John Deere
Gator 6X4 or as Sean affectionately called it, The
Clown Car. It's the smallest vehicle operating on
Station this winter and was a lot of fun to ride in.
I'm not sure why there aren't more of these on station
since they're perfect for departments such as Housing
that don't need a full-sized vehicle or need to go
onto the ice shelf, but need something to haul things
around in. In reality, The MEC, in which Sean is the
Supervisor, needs a full-sized truck, but they do
make the best use out of the Clown Car. Plus I'm
sure it's more fun to drive.
