The Yooper Event 2021 is returning to Newberry, MI. July 30 - 31, 2021.
Rooms won't last long, you can book now:
Evening Star Motel
Newberry, MI
906 293-8342
Say "GiG Up North" July 30 – 31, 2021. Rooms range from $62 to $84 depending.
We have also reserved the other Motel on the same property, same PH #, same owner.
There was a full house at Ground Zero last year, in spite of government sanctions. We spoke to the Motel owners, and there are only a few rooms remaining for our 2021 event. LuLu has a list of folks that asked for her to book a room, and she did. It might be a good idea to call the Motel and confirm your confirmations.
When these rooms fill up, there are other Motels in this small town, so come join us.
There are rumors of food availability on-site again.
Looking forward to more Summer riding in Michigan's Upper Peninsula!
CHEERS,
GiG & LuLu

Brian, Just an FYI we have one more coming from ID, Scott one of our good friends here will be accompanying us on our ride across the country. He has his room reserved at the Evening Star. I am sure Mike and I will resolve the Furthest Travel Award in a civilized way of good drink....  |

We had a great ride up last year, taking the Western Route. That is 22 up through Northport then back down to Traverse City. We did hit a lot traffic in TC and construction delays, but what a great ride. How could anyone imagine a town named Petoskey could be so beautiful? We hit the Bridge at the wrong time also. Took a good 40 minutes to cross.
This year I am thinking 75 (23 around Detroit) up to Bay City then 13 to 23 up the East side of Michigan. Should be some nice views of Lake Huron. Greg: Yes, Traverse City and Petosky are very nice, but watch out for traffic because it is a popular tourist area. I-75 in Detroit should be avoided for several reasons, but as long as you are going west to hit 23, just a little further west is M-52 - much nicer relaxed riding, and it ends up at 13 / 23 at Saginaw. At Toledo, take 20 west along state line to 52 north (cr109 in ohio). There are some traffic lights at the bottom of 13, but you will clear those quickly and 23 along Lake Huron is very nice. Less traffic than the west side and very scenic (a lot of Chicago drivers on the west side of the state...). Prolly should check construction on 23 up there too, a piece of road got washed out by the lake last year. |

I sincerely wish I could make this event. It's one of the good one's. Maybe next year. This year, other things (family priorities) are keeping me from attending. Bump for a really good time, a great host and a fine group of Valkyrie riders. Rams |

I just might make it this year....is that tall cousin of yours coming.....I’m in the mood for a slow dance. But I am concerned about possibly rooming with a guy with a set of play dough boobs on his fore head. Additionally I have concerns about a host who has been band from certain Michigan cities. Also I’m a little concerned about traveling across the Michigan boarder after being allegedly involved in the Governors failed kidnapping attempt. She sure can keep a grudge!

Been there and seen it in person, you're correct in what you've heard. But, the really cool thing about it is, not one Valkyrie rider got near their bikes after toasting a few. Rams |

Binkie - If you were to slow dance with with my 6' tall NEICE...  ... you might just get smothered! Boarder? Huh? Haven't been in a band in a long time. Best not to talk about Big Gretch on a public forum, you know, she got spies! Looks like you are still technically on the " Definitely Maybe" list, please gimme a shout when its "Definite"... Hope you make it, its always good to see you, my friend, weirdo boobbie head roommate and all! cheers |

I'm curious, can you get BBQ'd Raccoon up there?
There seems to be some interest in that.
If you think you're gonna make it down here, I can direct you on where to go.

msb Mike:
Hope the borders are open and you are able to join us.
Being a long ways away from any borders, has COVID shut down our northern border, I guess I hadn't thought about that. Too busy looking south for southern border crossings. I hope that doesn't effect this excellent event. Rams |

Don't know aboot BBQ 'coon, it may be available, but don't think I'd like it... It's Lent and you can still get muskrat in some Downriver joints. Dates back from when the French explorers cruised these rivers 400 years or so ago |

Alright! Rosie, glad you can make it, never knew you were born a YOOPER... Gig, OK, that does it! I called and made a reservation just awhile ago, so for now it appears I'll be making the trek up there after all... Of course, if Rosie cancels I can't guarantee I'll still be coming... Nah, just kidding... Had a blast last year, and that combined with the roaring case of cabin fever I've acquired lately have me all ready to head that way today! Naturally I'll be looking for some better weather before I make the turn in that direction, but it is on my mind now... Be advised... Oh, and please remind Lulu to have her 'hugger' all limbered-up... DDT |
