locky · 01-09-2006, 09:21 PM

Do just a day trip or stay a night? Yes I will have a open slot.

PolarisINDY500 · 01-09-2006, 09:23 PM

it'll be the weekend...and we'll mostlikely stay at the bear trap

locky · 01-09-2006, 09:34 PM

IRS, Why dont you go out tomorrow and buy a 4 place inclosed trailer. Then Mouse and I could ride with you. I will pitch in $3.00 for gas. Its the least I could do.

Here's the forecast for the Gaylord area. I really don't think it thast bad. The high temps that they're talkin are only for a couple of hours, and the high will hit around 2PM then dropping. It's also gonna be in the 20's every night, so I don't think there will be to much melting.

Gaylord weather

locky · 01-09-2006, 09:54 PM

Mouse, Whats the snow like right now in your area. Also whats it like closer to Petoskey?

ITriumph · 01-09-2006, 10:14 PM

The trails here are really shapiin up. We got a couple of inches of some heavy stuff lastnight, and they ran the groomer through this morning. The trails still have some bumps, and some snirt in spots. I was just lookin at the interactive site browsing through all the trail report in MI. The best conditions that I could find is Newberry to the Soo, and here in Emmett county. After lookin at all that I'm thinkin plan B. Gaylord isn't lookin good.

If you're looking at coming as far as Sault Michigan you should leap the extra 2.5 hours and make it an Ontario ride, as we have a lot of snow north of Sault Ontario. Unless that's blasphemy to turn it into something other than the Michigan ride...

Canada sounds cool, but I'm not allowed in your country

Locky, you got a salt guard on your trailer?

illwerral · 01-09-2006, 10:24 PM

That's unfortunate. That just speaks to how poor our laws governing that sort of stuff must be. Keeping out good people ain't right

PolarisINDY500 · 01-09-2006, 11:30 PM

thnx for the post mouse...looks like imma call munising tmw

ITriumph · 01-10-2006, 12:21 AM

I'm gonna call a friend of mine up in Paradise. They help with grooming up there, and I'll see what the trails are like

Can I unstick the other thread yet? We're getting too many stickys here, plus you have this one to continue with.

IndianRvrShiver · 01-10-2006, 07:01 AM

Don't know how this became a sticky in the first place?? But there will be enough action this week to keep it on top. OK by me to un-sticky!!

locky · 01-10-2006, 07:20 AM

Well Mouse did you call your buddy yet in paradise??? What are you waiting for??? Sounds like I will be driving to your house then on Friday morning if the weather doesnt pick up for Gaylord.

locky · 01-10-2006, 07:30 AM

Its been 10 minutes where is Mouse at. I even took the day off to get things ready for the trip. So I will be able to check the site almost all day today.

SnowRida · 01-10-2006, 08:04 AM

Might just have to change the date to Feb something?
