Nice photo dump.
Interesting seeing all of those large bush tires out there in Minnesota.
I wouldn't have thought they'd be useful in that part of the country.

I wish that we had been running at least 31's landing at Jackson's last winter. Goodyear 26's were marginal..

That's a pretty sweet 336. Reminds me of this one at Soldotna:
