It would be cool to just pull up to the beach for the night, but if we had a room we wouldn't need any extra gear for the night. I would be game either way, I just wanna ride!!
I would think leaving on a Saturday morning and coming back to W.P. on Sunday would work the best, but whatever works for you guys I'll make work for me.
nytro
p.s. maybe I should bring the KX 5 for this ride!!

I think you should just give me the k5,i mean with your age and all I really do not want to see you get hurt or something.Anyway lime green with a blue mohawk is totally out of style

Saturday to Sunday for sure. A room would be alot easier. I know, get a room next to the beach with a bar.
I'm cool either way.
Did ya get that monster running? That would be a blast.
You'll have to still Kirks helmet!
Very intrested to see this new map. Can we get to Gay and take that scenic shoreline route?

Ranlam,
Yea I think a room would work out a lil better also. A bar will be a must for the evening!!! Either works for me also.
I have a couple other projects goin but that goes on the bench next and I don't think it will be a major problem, hopefully just something in the shifter assembly. I will definantly have it UP to do some ridin in the UP, also plan to bring the 450 UP for a weekend too.
Yea I might have to steel Kirk's helmet when I bring the KX 5 UP!! lol
Fish,
I'll be OK on the KX 5, I put a throttle stop on it so it will just come off idle!!
I was always a lil off on style so it all fits together well. LOL
check your P.M.'s & send me your addy and I'll get a map out to you.

I'll go with the room idea also.Hot shower and hot food will go good after that kind of mileage.
Say up in Copper Harbor?

June is good,days are getting longer and temps are cooler,still a bit rainy early in the month.
Early July is o.k. but later in the month can be hot humid and real dusty.
August would be least favorable.
Sept.temps are good,rain can be problem,days get short.
Oct.every thing will either be perfect or a total washout.
I am going to be out west for a couple weeks in June as well so I'll have to plan around that.
If you get a chance check out A.D. Boivin explorer kits for dirtbikes.Looks like a riot to me

May 28,29 if the weather is good? Otherwise Fish you'll have to pick the date cause nytro and I will work it in.
I looked into them explorer kits, definatly want a 60+ HP machine, looks like a total blast though.

On our annual ATV trip this year, our group will be leaving L'Anse "early" July 28th and returning late on the 30th from Copper Harbor. Stops along the way, to name a few are The Pasty corner-Iron River, Henrys-Rockland, Slims- Mohawk, Mariner North- Copper Harbor. We camp out in tents along the way, maybe Twin Lakes SP for showers one night. Maybe stay at campground by Gay another night? Depends on how far we travel in a day! Will be nice to get the new Mi-Trale Maps. The ones I have are getting a little worn out!!! The new trail from Sidnaw to Iron River will be a great for making a loop on the IRM-SB trails. Also will be nice to see what Baraga Co. will have for trails. I think now that the ball is rolling they will have some good ones. It all takes time. Skip does a great job getting trails. Make sure you get out this year and get the Mi-Trale "CP2R" award. It's really not that hard.

hemicoupe...you guys sure put on the miles. We always say were gonna get the CP2R award but never get down to ride IRM trail. Pretty much ride everything else. Were always to busy off roading and exploring. We should do it just for the clubs sake though, oh and our pride! Not to mention the cool award itself. I'm just glad we got the good folks at MI-TRALE doing what they can to make our sport grow.

Ranlam, we need to get the CP2R award this year, because like ya said we already ride all the trail but the IRM trail and that would be some new ground for us to explore. We could just putem in the truck & go down to Marinesco and go from there. we'll have to get a plan for this a lil closer to sping and do it.
nytro
P.S. May 28-29 should work for me too.

Ranlam,
May 28-29 works for me too. How long do you think it will take to ride UP there, is leaving at 10 early enough? Doesn't matter to me I'm game no matter what.
fish,
No problem, keep us posted on the route.

I need to get a keweenaw map next.Are you thinking of running the pioneer to nichol to calumet then connecting with katv trails north of there? 10 am might be a few hours too late to make copper harbor.The freda loop would be something to check out on the way up or back.

We can leave by 8est. if you want. I figured 10 would give us enough time, from here to Houghton is 3 hours and C.H. is around another 1.5-2 hours past that. But I did not figure in any exploring time so yeah the earlier we leave the better. The BN trail is what i figured to Calumet then I dont know if its the same as snowmobile trail or not. Did the new maps come in yet?
