So after finding multiple sites about legitimate trails in Michigan (of which i'd fail at haha), i can't find any trails lower than Muskegon. So, how about somewhere in Lansing area where we just hang out and grill up some eats?

 

Im still in, Martin Dragstrip is public and we could BBQ there, but I'd almost prefer to travel a little for a legit trail to take the truck out on.

 

Well, i'm not an offroad guy so if you guys know anywhere that isn't a long haul i'm all ears

 

How far is a long haul?

 

Idk, i'm just throwing it out there that i'm only 2wd and we can always do more than one meet.. btw, its 3:30 and i'm going on 22 hours awake

 

well im in muskegon and i dont care where we go michigan aint that big and driving across state aint to bad. just lets us know where and when. im def in. trails are good too.

 

honestly, just throw ideas out there guys. if we can get 10 people that would be cool. i'm thinking end of june, early july

 

I think a BYOS (bring your own steak) would be an amazing idea. We don't even need to do a trail ride. The best place I've seen for trail rides is in Mt. Morris, north of Flint. Obviously, that's up to everyone who is interested in doing a meet'n'greet.

Jackson would be nice, but I think Lansing or Okemos would be a better place. It's right in the middle of the state. Equal driving distance for Det. and G.Rapids.

Also, if we do the whole BBQ thing, I think we should shoot for May 30th at 5:30pm. What do you think?

 

has anyone brought up the mounds in flint yet? they have a good range of trails there?

That's actually the one that I pointed out. It's in Mt. Morris north of Flint, and it looks like a nice place. Can't go til mid May, because they close it down due to the winter thaw (flooding). Even then, we probably won't schedule this thing to happen for another month or two, which will make it better.

One thing we need to keep into consideration is the fact that not everyone has an off-road worthy vehicle (lowered, 2x4, would fall apart if rubbing a bump the wrong way). That leaves a trail ride out of the list. Which leaves a drag strip or just a good ol' fashion BBQ.
