Future: Northern Michigan Meet

[Cable810]

Back to being ontopic. I bumped into a guy with a Lifted Jeep today at the Gas Station and we chatted for a bit. I asked him where abouts he Wheels, and he said Bummers Roost/Black MTN Trails. So It seems that the Jeep guys up here go out that way and wheel. I can't recall where he was from either Down State or Down South...

Just thought I'd let ya's know!

Of what month? If july the 7th is too close to the fourth of july and im always busy that weekend, the 21st of july i will be in Indiana for Midwest Camp-N-Drag so that weekend is out for me too.......sorry

 

[Kuchar09]

Currently my TB is in the shop getting paint so I should have it back by the end of the week but then I'm stripping it down to do raptor liner and rock sliders and tie rods. Depending on how much time I get to work on it I could have it done by July 7th otherwise the TB will be in pieces. I believe I am also busy July 21st and definitely July 14th.
But you guys go ahead and get a date together and if I can make it I'll be there!!!

 

[Wishbone]

It's looking bad for me, I'm booked thru July, and only Aug 11 & 18 open so far.

 

[Cable810]

Ok.... August 4th and 11th work for me. But that 4th is the 2nd to last day of our festival so I might end up having to work it, still unsure though... I can switch days with my co-worker if I have to. So I can/could switch the 21st to the 28th of July if the 28th works?

What about Fridayswould that work?
PUT your Name by dates that work and Add dates that work.

I'm a maybe anything after July 7th, just depends on my work/school schedule from there really. I've had to play everything by ear lately so don't depend on me for a date, you guys can set a time and date and I'll see if I can make it then.

 

[Cable810]

Ok.

We are getting there.....slowly. I'm set on these dates unless something comes up for me. Shoot for the 4th, 11th or 18th?

If we do it the fourth Rogers City will be very very busy, unless we don't go into Rogers City. The trails are about a 40 minute drive from Rogers City and about 20 from Onaway. If ya'll are coming off of I-75 Onaway would be the best place to meet, in terms of closeness to the trails. Rogers City is a nicer city/town than Onaway. Are we planning on meeting before or after lunch?

I'm down to just the 18th... :-( But as far as anything offroad I'm just a passenger, so don't make decisions based on me...

 

[Cable810]

August 18th works for me as of right now, things might change. I kinda figured you would be a passenger.. Lol

 

[Cable810]

Talking to my friend who gave me a hand with the lift, telling him about a place I found that I went wheeling on. He told me another really good place(Red Bridge Rd). We wouldn't need to purchase ORV Stickers if we go to Red Bridge Rd If we decide to go to Bummers Roost/Black Mountian we need ORV Stickers. . There are a few There are quite a few Seasonal Roads that run through Red Bridge Rd which I dunno what they would be like. Looking at google maps the seasonal roads look to be really good places to wheel due to the fact that you can't really see the road from Google Maps(Satelite).

Here is a map: http://www.vvmapping.com/trails/mapPages/pdfs/VVMap_MI_ORV_Trail_Map_Pg81.pdf

I dunno if Y'all wanna go to bummers roost or what? I know Kuchar said it would be nice if the trails were fairly wide. I can not confirm or denie how wide they are. I was never able to go to Bummers Roost like I had planned and I'm not gunna get out there anytime soon.

When do y'all wanna meet, time wise?

 

[Kuchar09]

Great job at getting info!!!
I will say it is looking good for me I just finished the liner on my truck yesterday and am going to be sand blasting my bumper and putting on my liner today hopefully. So then all I have left is the rock sliders.
Oh and ORV and state park stickers are fine with me since I need them for silver lake also.

 

[Cable810]

Another Link with a few Pictures. Doing some more reading It looks like we might need a ORV Sticker

Cannot on august 18th, I have an exam that week but have fun if you guys go

 

[Kuchar09]

I believe I'm good for the 18th, time doesn't matter for me since I'll most likely stop and see my grandparents in vanderbilt which is very close to that area. The Red Bridge Trail looks pretty cool to me!!
Here is what I have been working on!!

 

[Michblaze02]

Just wanted to chime in and let everyone know I havent fallen off the face of the earth. Crazy busy lately. Wrapped up school in spring, searching for a fulltime position, installing a 18X27 paver patio (2200 pavers ).

Super bummed I couldnt make the biggest MI meet in history, and the first MI meet ive ever missed.

I have until Aug 24th to find a new job, so will be busy looking and applying for positions around the area. Can't say for sure if I can make this one yet, but will let you know either way.
