   Hmmm, a creeper on tracks ...   
      
   Segway had some snowblower tracks to play with, but no one did.   
      
   I had a yard sale choice between a wheeled and a tracked snowblower, either   
   for $100, neither running well. The tracked machine was considerably harder   
   to maneuver on grass so I took the wheeled one and fixed the relatively   
   little that was wrong with it, mostly replacement of worn parts. Apparently   
   tracks are better on gravel, wheels with chains on icy pavement.   
      
   In August I rode in a WW2 half track at a tank museum event. They had a dirt   
   track loop in the woods suited to motocross and zipped around it as fast as   
   the driver dared, like a roller coaster but without seatbelts.
