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. Michigan Hand Map:  |

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!

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

Are you an organ, tissue and eye donor for your state? Did you know one person can save or enhance the lives of up to 75 people. The # of people waiting for organs in the US would overflow the University of Michigan football stadium. It's the biggest in the country. Will seat over 109,000.

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.
 That clue sounds like Grand Traverse Bay |

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".

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...

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... Yes.
Yes.
Yes!
And, uhh, no.

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!!!!!!!

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!!!

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 !!!! |
