And here is the weather at the Michigan Indiana border

Dead stop sheet of ice and I'm driving this empty. Already had the trailer get out from me. I'm at the rest stop cleaning my drawers out as I type. Hope the roads are better that weekend! I should have my new ride by then.

I was with a friend heading up to North Point near Traverse City and we were going over the Zilwaukee Bridge

we were pulling a 32 foot enclosed trailer to go pick up a car. The truck and trailer did a little sideways action right in the middle of the bridge. Scared the crap out of me. Get that new bronco and get it ready for the snow.

Sounds like a lot of fun. Unfortunately it's probably too far for me to go at over 800 miles. It sounds like fun and I look forward to pictures and video.

Wish I could attend as well. My daughter is living in Ypsilanti so a visit would work for a excuses to be in Michigan. However my 76 is not ready for a drive of that distance, with the wife along.%);D Hoping to make it to Broncorama later in the spring. Anyone seen a date?

I am heading up to West Branch tomorrow to run some trails with another group of guys and to map some stuff out for next month. Really looking forward to next month and getting out on the trails with everyone. I will report on Sunday how the trails are looking. I wish we had some state land around here to run. Lots of snow and cold in this area!

Less than a month away to playing in the snow!! Thought I would post a link to a snow run that took place in West Branch this past weekend so you can see some of the fun we will be having. Get those broncos ready guys. It will be a great time.

Bump this to the top! What's the turnout looking like for the outing Henry, can we get a roll call?

 

[Hank_]

I will try to get a good count this week and post it up. I will PM everyone to make sure who is coming. Conditions are GREAT for trial riding up there. What a winter. Looking forward to it.

I think I sent a message to all those who are thinking of coming up. If anyone else is interested in coming and you did not get a p.m. from me please contact me. I want to make sure all people are accounted for before we leave for the run on Saturday morning. If we have a few guys interested I would be up for a night run on Friday. We will leave around 10 a.m. on Saturday morning for the day run and then maybe get together at G's Pizza afterward for some good food. Really looking forward to this run. Getting my tire carrier finished up and changing the t-stat. Look forward to seeing everyone.

You guys almost have me wishing I still lived in Michigan.%) I hear it's been one hell of a winter this year. Maybe one of these days I'll make it back to visit friends and glom on as someones co-pilot. Have a great time and post some new vids when it's over.

Hotel booked. Good times ahead....woo hoo.

Hey fellow Michiganders.
Looks like I'll miss another West branch trip.
I'll be up in the UP tearing up the trails on my sled.
Have fun, I don't remember a time when snow covered the entire state for such a long time!

 

[77bronco_ed]

Come on guys there are more than 6 folks from Michigan with Broncos…It would be nice to see a dozen or so...

One the Saturday run we will probably stop between 1 and 2 o'clock for a lunch break in the woods. I am bringing my grill to cook some hotdogs. Others could bring chips and water or pop and maybe something for a dessert. Or does everyone want to just bring their own. I would be happy to supply the hotdogs, buns and some ketchup an mustard. I will be bringing the grill to cook for a couple of us anyway so I figured I would just open it up to everyone. If you want hotdogs for lunch please just post up here and list what you would like to bring. There will between 15 and 20 people out on the trail. Just let me know.
