Title: Silver Lake Trip
Post by: Anonymous on June 12, 2007, 10:54:57 AM
Okay, I'm fretting about this.  We are 90% sure we are going---where is everyone staying?  Do we need to make a reservation somewhere?  Do we need to get passes or whatever for the Dunes as I heard that sometimes they sell out and that there is a big event there the same weekend.

Chris said that the club is staying on someone's property.  Is that accurate?  I just want to make sure we have a place to stay and aren't going to be SOL once we get there.  (wow, how long before I get thrown outta the CJ and left for dead?????  :lol: )


Thanks!!

Yes Mel we will be camping at Todd's house. He is one of our club members and he has a place right on the lake. Not sure if it is silver lake or lake Michigan. But we are staying there.

As far as the vouchers go, i haven't heard of a problem getting on the dunes besides holiday weekends.

Should be a fun weekend.

kewl--I think we will be tenting it.  Haven't used the tent in about 10 years---maybe we should get it out and set it up first to make sure rodents or other various creatures haven't modified its original structure, huh?  :mrgreen:  

hopefully the weather will hold and it will be a nice weekend for getting burned.....

We are stayying at the state park - had our reservations for several months now, plus we will be arriving slightly ahead of the rest of you (Monday 6/18).

Chris & Mel let us know if you need a rodent-free tent.  Since we bought the pop-up our Taj-Majal tent just sits in the garage.

I was waiting for that.   :mrgreen:   I don't think that either Chris's or my back can handle sleeping on the ground.  You know, all our old war wounds and all.   :mrgreen:

not sure what good an RV is going to be in an area without power and water.  


Besides, I'd rather spend the $200 it will cost us to get it there and back on beer :)

except for the money to fill the 75 gallon tank.... EEEEEEEEEKKKKKKKKKKSSSSSSS.  Wonder how many miles to the gallon we would get with a trailer behind us. Not sure this will be pretty.....


(wonder if we can just winch the CJ to the roof??) :)
