Run to Silver Lake Mi. May

Always wanted to go play in the sand up at Silver Lake since I moved up here,
so any one interested in playing in sand instead of MUD!!!

I hate mud by the way but sand and rocks are cool

rs4mtnitro one of our old memebers goes up with a bunch from around Toledo 4 or 5 times a year or more, maybe able to convince him to lead anyone who has not been there, plus we have at least a few members from up in that area.

Its on the West coast of Michigan so maybe attract some from IN,IL,OH, etc ????

I'd be up for it - but it's a bit too far in the future to make it a definite "yes" at this point

Thats it, I know its a ways in advance but wanted to throw it out there just to see what we may get going.
I know there is an entrance fee and you have to have a flag on the front but would be a fun weekend.

You head north along western Michigan and then turn left - continue on 'till your hat floats. :wink:

j/k

But seriously - I would be very interested in making a trip up there sometime this spring. I've heard it's a good time.

Definitely would like to go.

Need to get working on getting skids and skinks!! :twisted:

Heck yeah, I may have my bumper by then!
My buddy (the one who blew up his Rubicon at the Badlands on a LOST RUN :twisted:

) has been trying to get me to go up there forever...
But you better not back out Rev. Mudd!

The thing is you really dont need them there. I would be down. My family usually goes within a couple weeks of opening (4 jeeps) plus a few of my buddies. Keep me posted. Would be cool to finally meet some of you guys.

When does it start geting warm enough to really enjoy it up there? I can not be that close to the water without getting my toes wet, but don't want anything on my body turning blue either :roll:

Thats what I meant Lake Mi, didn't know if it got warm about the same time at Lake Erie over here or not, oh well make a run and park by the water and play in the sand is fun any time ..almost :wink:

I live about 2 miles from Lake Michigan and haven't stepped foot in it for at least 20 years now, but a trip up to Silver Lake sounds fun, I'll pencil it in and hope to make it.

jeepkj02 · **Posted:** Thu Dec 18, 2008 11:44 am

It doesn't really get comfortably warm until maybe late-April or May. I live about 20-25 minutes from Lake Michigan (Holland), and its always about 5 degrees colder than inland.

If the beach has palm trees and bare breasted women, I'm in!

I was up there twice in 08. Had a great time. There is a voucher system in place now and you have to be in line to get a weekend voucher by friday around noon. It started getting so crowded on the weekends they only let X number of vehicles in at a time. what X number is I don't know. I went on a Tuesday, Wed. Thurs both times this year. Lots of campgrounds and then hotels for those less adventurous. Count me in again. My avatar is from there

tommudd · **Posted:** Fri Dec 19, 2008 3:15 pm

well that sort of ...blows :shock:

so you may go up and not get on the dunes anyways

KJWildman · **Posted:** Fri Dec 19, 2008 3:58 pm

That's very possible. Especially if you try to go on a holiday weekend. The best bet is to go on a Thursday so you can get a voucher on Fri. Morning good for all weekend. If you go during the week it's no problem at all.
