Got down to 30 degree's last night had our first hard frost. Leaves are steadily changing now. 
Just over a week until we head south to Cape Hatteras!!

Dang!  Must be nice to have weather cool enough for a fire.  Right now (~11:00 am), it's 81 here .. and we're grateful for the cooler weather (compared to what we've been having)!  Fireplace weather is still a couple of months off.  The good news:  We still have a lot of good camping weather left. Big smile

We used to tow our 2010 171 with our 2005 Dodge Caravan with the old 3.3 with 181 horse power. We took that to Florida twice all the way down to the keys. Got 10-11 in Vermont and 12-13 below Vermont  had to take a run on most hills.
The larger engine made quite a bit of difference.

Good Luck

Thanks, Leo,
In two weeks we will be taking our 171 out for its 'maiden voyage', staying close to home to see the changing leaves. The Wrangler doesn't really like towing; it has the 3.8 with 202 hp.
It'll have to get used to it, though, until next year. My wife just told me she wants to get a pickup! God love her!!!

Eric,
Yes, we have the 3.6 pentastar  290 horse engine. It tows great we get 13.5 mpg in the Vermont hills and 15.5-16.5 when we get down below the mass border. We towed over into New Hampshire last trip, had no problems on the hills or mountains. Love it

Yep- true enough!
A couple years back my step-son's hockey team had an ice-fishing party as a mid-season outing. (no booze). We had trucks, ATVs, and snowmobiles out on the ice and a roaring fire going all day out on the ice. The ice was so thick, guys needed extensions for their augers!
Come to think of it- it truly is the hockey moms who are the crazy ones! It's not always coffee they have in their travel cups for those early Sunday morning games!!!

Anyhoo- still a winter sport in the cold.

Northeast Alberta in the winter is NOT a fun camping destination.
Its not a fun anything winter destination, really. Sure, some may say its good for snowmobiling or tobogganing; but to you, I say: HUMBUG.... I prefer to watch all you down-hill skiers from the warmth of a large fire in the chalet with a good book and good scotch..

We will start in December when the ice is 5-7 inches thick and it will end in Mid March at 2-5-3 foot thick. We will chase flags on our snow machine.
