Iowawegian Posted October 9, 2008 Share #39 Posted October 9, 2008 Just wanted to tell you guys to have a great time!! Gary and I rode up to Escanaba a couple of years ago. We camped in a little town north of there. Gladstone. It was a city campground and one of the nicest campgrounds we've ever stayed in. $15.00 for the night and our tents were right on the lake. We like it so much we rode back up there this summer. Have fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Swifty Posted October 9, 2008 Share #41 Posted October 9, 2008 I'm still working on plans, waiting on PMs, and debating whether the dog house life after the fact will be easy time or not... ...(its our Thanksgiving weekend), and hoping to see all you guys once more before this season is out. If I go, I'll be on the road first thing Saturday morning and try to find you early to mid afternoon. I've got Bates' cell number. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Swifty Posted October 13, 2008 Share #48 Posted October 13, 2008 ....wowie...what a great weekend. Best thanksgiving ride in years! Big thanks to Al for planning the ride. HUGE thanks to Eddie for staying on his side of the bed. 2 days = 1138 MILES, and 750 billion calories...which I need government assistance to bail out of.

Al Bates Posted October 13, 2008 Author Share #50 Posted October 13, 2008 (edited) What a great weekend. Got back around 8:00pm last night. We did round 1000 miles. Weather was super, food was good and most of all the friends are the best. Al, & Diane, Joe & Debbie, Mike & Lora, Denden & Vicky, Larry and Joyce, Eddie and Dave (Swifty) Swifty join up with us in Traverse City and Departed in Chesaning after having dinner at the Show Boat restaurant. The riding was superb!! I think the big winers at the cosino was Big Mike and Lora. Here's a few pic's, the others are in photo-bucket.
