So when are we going to Silver Lake this summer for a CK5 gathering? Who wants to go and what dates work?

I have attached some pics to whet your appetite. :D

I'll be up there memorial day weekend. I don't have any other trips there planned, but would be willing to get up there another time or two.

How's the two tracks and such around there?

Never been there as after some friends had "eh"-ish times there I never bothered. Too many people and too many idiots for them.
 
i will be living in Kalamazoo this summer if i have my truck out there and actually have a front drive shaft built by then i will be there
 
im in for sure,as long as its mid july or later.
the dunes there are a blast,very nice.

gotta hurry and finish my k5.
 
If youre mapquesting,i think you can go to
"silver lake sand dunes" i know its close to " hart,mi"

It's on the west coast of Michgan, close to half-way between the Mackinaw bridge and the Indiana border. The dunes are between the small Silver Lake and Lake Michigan. There is lots of camping in the area, as well as hotels and even a speed shop. The town is small, but it seems like almost everything is centered on the off-roading. You see all kinds of vehicles from sand rails to monster trucks, dirt bikes, quads and stock trucks. Lots of sponsored events there. The dunes are run by the State of Michigan.
 
How about July 19th and 20th? How many could make weekdays work to avoid the crowds and vouchers?
 
just let me know, should have my rig done by then. Vouchers are easy as long as you get there early enough. Oh and the town is called Mears!!! just west of Hart, MI
 
Gas prices will prob kill it for me. But if I hit the lottery, I'm there. :D
 
Hopefully we can all make it, does anyone plan on camping?

and i figure I might as well post a picture as well:doah:

Camping would be cool if everyone could make it during the weekday. But if that doesn't work I'll do the weekend. Doesn't matter just need 2 weeks notice
