My guess is Houghton Lake is ground zero, in which the town and lake are the same name. It is also about one hour from Traverse City which is also the name of the bay which is on the boarder of Lake Michigan.

Decent reasoning, Capt., but Houghton Lake appears to be on the middle finger.

Wow! just heard that it was going to be near Bay City.
Yeah,...go Bay City Banshees!

Y'all remember the boy band from the seventies,...the Bay City Rollers? Yeah, real heavy man.

Forget Traverse City and the fudgie tourists, Bay City has an old Polish community that is big on tradition. I'm talking, Polkas, Kielbasa, Perogis, and stuffed cabage.

Party on Garth!

Your source was not very reliable.

Momz · Mon 05, Oct 2009, 20:12:23

The city of Flint is just south of Bay City. So you can drive by and say good-bye to the automobile industry too.

Willow · Mon 05, Oct 2009, 20:28:21

No cigar yet. The name of the lake and town have a certain atmospheric ring to them.

Carolyn Schmidt · Mon 05, Oct 2009, 20:35:32

Carl,

I loved the last clue. Nice job.

This thread is a riot.

motomama · Mon 05, Oct 2009, 20:37:45

I know I am cracking up!

Momz · Mon 05, Oct 2009, 20:47:46

If not Bay City?

Battlecreek?
Bad Axe?
Benton Harbor?
Big Rapids?

bassman · Mon 05, Oct 2009, 20:50:56

Charlevoix ?

Connie, is the object here not to guess correctly? Maybe the answer is too easy??

Willow · Mon 05, Oct 2009, 21:09:44

Apparently I erred.

There are two bays on the lake with the same name as the state that contains the city of the name of the bay. Our bay is the Grand one, not the plain old ordinary one. Of course, the city is not the grand one, but the name that is the same as the plain old ordinary bay which also would be the same as the grand bay if it just weren't grand.

I hope this small inaccuracy hasn't caused anyone an unnecessary inconvenience.

Momz · Mon 05, Oct 2009, 21:14:50

That clue sounds like Grand Traverse Bay

mirion · Mon 05, Oct 2009, 21:18:21

Certainly looks like Grand Traverse Bay to me, beautiful area and great riding on the Lelanau penninsula as well as just North by Harbor Springs and the "tunnel of trees".

Karen · Mon 05, Oct 2009, 21:23:58

Grand Traverse Bay? Traverse City? Spent lots of time there as a kid. Gots to go over the bridge & get some pasties... Putting this in my dance card, wherever it is. They have a great cherry festival there, too. In the 50's, we (all-girl polka band) rode in the parade in a Navy duck, and the driver took us out into Lake Michigan. Wow, I'm dating myself... of course at this age, it's hard to get anyone else to do it...

RTaz · Mon 05, Oct 2009, 21:44:49

Wow ...I hope someone clears the air about this soon...is the town large or small like this one?

Are there BIG Lakes around it or small lakes like this one...?

Are there roads close by that are surrounded by trees like this...?

...Gee must be in Oregon...

Super Santa · Mon 05, Oct 2009, 22:03:50

How about Charlevoix? That is my guess.

Ok everyone, now you have the date and location, so start your planning.

PLEASE, DO NOT call the hotel!!
To get the rates where we needed them, we had to do some fancy footwork.
We'll be doing things a bit differently this year... basically, the VRCC will be making the reservations and turning them over to the hotel when complete. It's a little bit risky this way, but if we work together, I'm confident we can make it work. Details will be forthcoming as soon as we can get all the them worked out.

More than ever, we're really counting on your support and patience. Thanks in advance!

It's going to be an awesome event!!!!!!!

KW · Tue 06, Oct 2009, 00:23:39

Great Area! Everyone make CERTAIN you plan a ride around the Leeanau pennisula AND a stop at Glen Arbor!!! Also, the Cherry Republic

Big Mike · Tue 06, Oct 2009, 08:00:14

Folks, Shanty Creek is a wonderfull place it is one of the top skiing resorts in the state. So with that the views from the hotel are amazing. There are many older hisorical towns to visit with quaint little shops and eateries. One of my favorites is Grand Traverse Pie Company in the Gas Light District of Petosky, about an hour from this resort. This is going to be exciting!!!

JDW365 · Tue 06, Oct 2009, 08:06:56

Pie! Did somebody say PIE!

I'm in where do I sign up.

JimL · Tue 06, Oct 2009, 08:11:13

Oh yeahhhhh....pie company......"Gas Light District of Petosky" here I come!

Blackduck KS · Tue 06, Oct 2009, 09:06:05

PIE oh boy going to be a good trip for sure

RTaz · Tue 06, Oct 2009, 09:10:40

Bellaire is located about 35 miles northeast from Traverse City...in one of the most beautiful area's of our State....Shanty Creek is a resort that is second to none...

first class all the way....it is located about 1-2 miles east of Bellaire in the scenic hills of northwestern Michigan...The area is well known by Michigan bikers for many years...there are miles and miles of roads surrounded by old growth hardwood trees and the fresh scents of pine tree forests

...beautiful picturesque Lakes and towns are dotted throughout the area

ok...i wasn't supposed to say anything...but i'm going to fess up. I was told....by reliable sources...it will be in Deadhorse, Canada...up on the Artic Ocean/Circle. We're going to film with Iceroad truckers during the event(for the History Channel)...up at Deadhorse...as far north as ya' can get. We're doing it in the month of December. I know, i wasn't supposed to say anything Connie, but i just can't take it anymore.......

or..........................was i intoxicated when i heard this and hallucinating.......

Don't know EXACTLY what you heard there Little Timmy, but my bet is that you WERE intoxicated - just from experience my friend !!!!

so we aren't going to Deadhorse in December????? darn....i thought we were going to finally get to ride our Valks over the ocean on the frozen sea

actually, a little bird had told me while at CBR where we were going....but....i was keepin' my mouth shut as told

i was hoping i could steer everyone off course with my Deadhorse prediction....but alas...no one apparently took me seriously

JDW365 · Wed 07, Oct 2009, 08:19:01

Redvalk, I think everyone knew where we were going.

I personally was throwing out wild guesses just to provide the Admin some cheap entertainment.

??? I think it worked rather well!!

BigAlOfMD · Wed 07, Oct 2009, 09:51:52

I found the where but not sure when yet.
We have relatives in Anarbor that we haven't seen in a long time.
I can rent a Harley in Farmington Hills for a few days

Any suggestions where I can rent a Honda close to Anarbor?????
If I can keep it a secret from my wife why I really want to go, maybe I can swing it this year

Hey! I had no clue, an figured it out fair and square on my own! (With a little poking around in Willow's online photo stash)

It was actually pretty fun figuring out the puzzle...
