jeepfrog and I have been charting manistee trails and rating them for equip needed, trail feel, ruts and puddles...will post this both here, link it to my business site, and the other topic here about trails in the midwest. We have been mapping for at least a year....I would say within a week i will have everything we have so far together and posted...If you want something quicker pm me

ok....1st: vicki (jeepfrog) is gettin the pics up soon, either tonight or tomorrow and will post the links here...

2nd: I really wanted to wait untill we had a few great trails, which I think we have now, before planning a full out OFFICIAL TRAIL RUN...lol...dont want anyone disappointed...lol...Also wanted some planning to have places to camp/hotel in...and then last give enough notice for people to get into it...So with that said

3rd: I am starting a new link. On 9/10 vicki and I are taking a whole week off starting in manistee and wrapping up with Jamie's (yellowcoyote) Nicolle trip so 9/9 we are driving out to manistee or cadillac and on 9/10 and 9/11 we are doing trails in Manistee, this will be an official run...will need to max out at about 10 vehicles...tread lightly and all...we will designate middle man and caboose at rally point...this trail runs topic will be posted later this week. I am surre when the mood strikes Vicki and I will head out for a long weekend and put some more trails under our belts..so that all experience the best of Manistee...

with respect, and safe wishes to all...Jan

Anytime Tom! I've got pics of most of our other trips to the Manistee area in my Picasa albums as well. You're welcome to check them out too. We have now been there at least once each season :mrgreen:

A few of us from Northwest Ohio have been talking of a little trip. This is close enough that its not a full day just to get there. A long 4 day weekend would work for a quickie trip for us even to get some that haven't had theirs off road yet to get their feet err tires muddy :wink:
