ATV Weekend in the Huron Mountains of Michigan!

[Burlkraft]

There's gonna hotel rooms..??? ??? ???

I'd make ear plugs part of the required equipment...but not fer ridin'........ :D :D :D

[Nailhead]

There's a box of ear plugs right inside of the bunk room door :D

[Mooseherder]

The Moon, the Stars and necessary approvals have all lined up.   ;) 8)

Had a little plannin meeting today at the Rox, and included Stumpy, Onewithwood (his wife Linnea), Burlkraft, and myself.

OWW left off a nice cedar burl from Cedarman...it was a beauty.

Note that the pic doesn't include the quad in the truck, that Burlkraft was planning to have along...but he says it is real... ;D ;D





Found out we need a Michigan ORV sticker to be legal in MI. Working on that now.

[Furby]

You can pick up an ORV sticker at any Wally world or bait shop on your way through. ;)

[beenthere]

Thanks Furby. I followed Burlkrafts lead, and ordered it online. 

Others can take that course you suggested.

I'm going to assume the spark arrestor is incorporated in the factory muffler. 

[Reddog]

I'm going to assume the spark arrestor is incorporated in the factory muffler. 

Yes, all the factory mufflers have USFS approved spark arrestors. The only exception would be a full blow factory race bike. And they are not going to sell that to you or I. :D

And just in case someone does not understand what Furby is saying. You can purchase ORV stickers in Michigan from the same places that sell Hunting and Fishing license.

In MA it would probably be easier to register a UFO than to register your ATV. If you are really nice, you might actually get out of the registry (yup, the same as for cars, only not your local one, you have to travel halfway across the state) in a couple few hours. Keep the rubber side down.  Unless you're like me and spend most of the time with the front wheels in the air. ;D

Went by Jeff B's twice today.
Once at 5:45 AM and then again about. 9:15 AM. Both Times seemed a little early to stop and say hello on a sunday. ;) :D
Went to Canoe camp RD. to put some break in miles on.  ;D

[Nailhead]

Well, it looks like we have one bed left in the bunk room, and plenty of room for trailers and such.
I will get directions to everybody shortly.
I also heard a rummor that we'll have some apple pie 8)

Nailhead,
I will not be able to attend the ride this year.  I hope it turns into an annual event so I have a chance next year.

[moosehunter]

 I've gotten permission from my lovely bride, she had to ok the time off AND the use of her 4-wheeler ;D

So I went to write it on the calender. DOH. That is my Tuna fishing trip off the Jersey shore weekend :(

It may turn out ok though, of the last five years, we have been canceled 3 times because of weather.

My plan is to pack a small bag for a fishing trip and a large bag for a four wheeling trip. Nice weather off the Jersey coast and I'm going fishin'. Bad weather off the coast and I'm going to da u.p. , no matter the weather! Either way,...... I'm going to have a great weekend

Polaris ATP 500 for those that want to know.

[Jeff]

We aint had a puddle around here in probably 2 months.

[Jeff]

possibly Moosehunter unless he smells of fish, then he cant come  :D.

So, I come up with 12 confirmed and possibly as many as 15.

Does this look right?

[Nailhead]

That's how I count it. Looks like the bunk roon is full. Only thing open are a few lazyboy's ;D
Or if somebody wants to bring a camper.

[Mooseherder]

I gotta make flights. Let me know when I gotta be there.

[Jeff]

I plan on using Wednesday as a travel day and being ready for whatever Thursday morning. Earlier if I can, and that probably depends on who I bring, or who I come with or however that works out.

[beenthere]

What are the directions (or map) to Pat's Highcamp where we need to show up, and is there a map of the trails online?  Thanks 

Sounds like a good turnout.

[pasbuild]

Oh this is goin ta be good :D :D  directions ta da high camp :D :D :D
as fer trail maps there ain't none fer the trails we will be usin.
I'm goin ta try ta get permission to get inta the Huron Mountain Club fer a little tour  of some of the most pristine untouched land in the UP.
