I'm in also, I think, if I did it right.
Can't wait for my wife to get home and tell her what I done did, I think. Hope anyway
She's pretty much over the surprise trailer that showed up last Nov.
Is there going to be a thread looking for roomies, just in case.

Did the 1st 8 and #9 I was on O2 24/7 and that thin air would have killed me........ So now if I can get off of O2 by then I'll be to X. Too damn much O2 equipment to haul along.......... I don't think I'd have room for my luggage with the O2 equip...... |

I just sent in our registration for InZANE X and got camping reservations at the Chain-O-Lakes campground. I spoke with the owner and found her very helpful and easy to work with. We plan to trailer the Valk to our son-in-law's folks in Findley OH and then ride to Bellaire from there. Is I-75 an OK ride up from Findley? What can I expect in the way of traffic? Are the bypasses for the larger cities (Toledo, Ann Arbor, Flint, Saginaw, etc) far enough out of town to be comfortable? I have never been in that part of the country before and am trying to get prepared! These may not feel like big towns to some of you, but to us from here in The Greater Metropolis of Tecumseh Oklahoma, they're big places. |

How far is that campground from G-0? I'm coming up for a day and just bringing a sleeping bag. Looking for a place to lay my head a walking distance from G-0. I have another option pending but want to weight them all.  As far as MI roads, in my experience, pothole capital of the world! |

These may not feel like big towns to some of you, but to us from here in The Greater Metropolis of Tecumseh Oklahoma, they're big places. The Michiganders obviously should be able to help better with this, but if it were me, and it will be as I am coming from Ohio also. I would run I-75 up to Toledo, pickup US 23 take that to I-96 over to Rt. 127 in Lansing. US 23 and Rt. 127 are both divided highways, but they are much more "pastoral" and "country" then I-75. |

Thanks for the reminder Engemt...  In regards to I-75. I rode down from the U.P of Michigan and came all the way down through the state on I75 and let me tell you I think we were going 90mph at rush hour to stay up w/ traffic from where I-75 and 69 cross and I-75 and 94 hwy cross... That was the worst part of the entire ride!!! Avoid it if possible! |

Hi BudMan....if your looking to ride up x-way then take US-23...it is shorter ride with better scenery...it will join back up with I-75 by Flint, you can ride strait up to M-72 then to M-66 to M-88....if your looking for a nice two lane road...then I would suggest you ride up M-52...take it all the way up to Saginaw area then take M-46 to M-66 and strait up it may take you longer but it is a nice ride...... |

No, US-23 runs up from the west side of Toledo Oh....it will take you up through Ann Arbor...and run right back up into I-75 just south of Flint ...475 is a byway around Flint Michigan .... |

George had a wife and 7 daughters – no reason to call it Hell yet… George built a mill and a general store on the banks of a river that is now known as Hell Creek... The mill would grind the local farmers grain into flour; George also ran a whiskey still, so a lot of times the first 7-10 bushels of grain became moonshine. In turn, horses would come home without riders, wagons without drivers….someone would say to the wife, where is your husband? She’d shrug her shoulders, throw up her arms and exclaim, Ahh, he’s gone to Hell!” In 1841 when the State of Michigan came by, and asked George what he wanted to name his town, he replied, “Call it Hell for all I care, everyone else does.” So the official date of becoming Hell was October 13, 1841... |
