Michigan Trailfest II - October 13 and 14

[BadgerMan]

Whoops in Michigan? I can't imagine where.:p

Riding whooped out trails is good for you. It builds character!

 

[fatherandson]

Badgerman, you are so funny. I tried to send you an email, but it came back undeliverable. Please send me an email or PM with the correct email address.

Hola...

I'm trying to get a feel for the geographical location of this here event so'ins I can figure out if we can make it.

Can anyone post a zipcode ? So I can plot a course via mapquest ?

-MD

 

[fatherandson]

Matt,

This zip code will get you within 30 minutes of the spot....49651 - Lake City. The actual location is 7 miles east of Lake City and 10 miles north of M55.
I will provide more detailed directions in a couple of weeks.
Last time we only had one guy get lost, but he has a GPS now and we are hoping his arrival time is earlier than last time.:confused:

 

[MADisher]

Gak, that's an 8 hour drive :)

Can a 10 year old on PW's keep up there or should we leave the little ones home ? He hangs pretty well with us normally. It all depends on how deep the ruts are :)

Let me see what we can work out.

Also what does someone from Ohio need with regards to stickers, etc, etc.

the son you never wanted or needed

F/S
Marlin - you may be able to "bum" a hook up if you get there early and situate your camper near fatherandson's camper, but he would have to verify that because it's his campsite on the club grounds© Send him a e-mail© I've "staked" my claim for a hook up spot for my RV through frequenting the clubgrounds to help with events and trail maintainence but mostly it's rustic camping with juice and water available©

FedT- Ya I can relate, or would like to be able to relate©¥owning a spot on grounds¤ Its not much of a camper© just a little pop up ¥one light & a furance¤¤ I have lots of extension cords© 200 ft© or so© normally it would'nt matter that much, but one of the boys is recovering from mono, he got in august© I'm going to try to set up the camper to run off a battery© it is supose to be able to? but I've never used it© owned it since 1986 duh© so keep me in touch

Note: sorry mod© about the double post, just needed to get this thread back where it belonged

 

[fatherandson]

mono

70 marlin...

Been there done that...

Worst six months of junior's life was the summer he had mono...

You can plug in to the side of our trailer...

Bring cords, we usually run one out for the community coffee pot, also..

See ya,

The Old Man

email correction

I sent an email to the participants in the first Trailfest and it included a typo. Our next trail ride will be in October (not November).

Summer of 1980 - no riding, no baseball, no football........major bummer!!!!
Thanks for reminding me..DAD.

Mike Jr.

Marlin, I sure hope you and the kids "get permission" to join. At Trailfest I we called this "greasing the skids".

Trailfest II is only three weeks away. We have had a lot of new interest in this event. I hope to see some new faces on October 13 (or 12). If anyone needs directions, please let me know.

Does anyone else hear the sounds of bells??????????
It must be Jeff Allen home from his trip to Dirt Week 2001. I sure hope you can make it Jeff. I want to hear the story.
