What to do...how to do it...

Since my last post some of you might have been wondering what we plan to do with Eliza when we go cross-country skiing this winter. We have also realized that this could be a dilemma. It is true that if she does not fall asleep in the car, we will have to find a way to make her travel with us over the snow and far away, and she is too little for skis and too young to travel on her own power for too many miles. Well, I am working on it.

In my head, I have this:





But in my garage, I have this:










I also have been manufacturing, modifying, and generally tinkering with these:





































So...How would you put it all together?

Woah-- I wouldn't have any idea-- I think you could do it though. I remember you taking apart a radio and putting it back together when you were about 7 or so.

Strange but it might work...take off the wheels. Get an old pair of ski boots and attach them to the axle. Then get some old skis with binding that fit the boots. Click the boots into the bindings and go go go! Your cart would also look like R2D2. It would be cool.

How will I mount the boots to the trailer? Should I cut off some old feet and stick them in the boots?

I was planning on trimming the 2x4 to about 8 inches and then mounting it to the ski (using a couple of screws and some glue) with the blue straps in between. Then I am going to thread the rope through the poles, attach them to a belt on one end and to the trailer on the other. The poles will prevent the trailer from sliding past me on downhill runs.
