*TROLLS COLOR TOUR*

[timbercruiser]

It's time once again for the fabled and legendary Trolls Fall Color tour!:monkeydance:
*October 8th*
We will be starting in Wolverine this year.http://www.bing.com/maps/?v=2&cp=rjc8bc7ygs7z&lvl=17&dir=0&sty=b&sp=Point.rjc7ph7ygt3b_Untitled%20item____&form=LMLTCC

Be there by 9:30AM and we'll roll at 10. We will provide a trailside (lakeside) lunch at Thumb Lake.

The ride is doable in any stock rig. (My scout tells me there are 2 sections that need 4WD).

Post up so we can make a reasonable guesstimate of food.

See ya there:thumb:

If we were inclined to camp that weekend, do you have any suggestions?

[Trail_Fanatic]

Thank you Trolls!
See you there!

[lpm606]

Count me in!

[danimal]

Diane and I will be there in her TJ .....15-16 other possibles that I'll let you know on

[Greenway]

You know I can't resist the woods in the fall. I'll be there.

Burt lake SP. There is a private park near Wolverine, but I don't know the name. Weber lake state forest campground. There may be more that I'm missing. Google "camping wolverine MI"

[Rattler]

We might try and get up there for the color tour. I have to see how busy we are going to be at work around then though.

You can always wilderness camp too if you don't need the outhouses.

[phittie1100]

Mrs P Hittie has a strange fixation with flushing, so we will probably head to the State Park.

www.chandlerhillcampground.com that was last years lunch stop... real nice people, and nice campground....

Okay, I know I am a bit slow but I am confused. You say we are starting in Wolverine but are we ending there also? This will be our first year so I need more help than a birdseye view of roads. Exactly where are we meeting because when I click on your link I just see a blue number 1. Help an old lady out here please? :banghead:

directions for you to starting point..... the map program won't do a map of the route.... it's all seasonal roads..

[MrsRedRuby]

Thanks Dustyxj.......I totally understand now......sort of. No really, I appreciate your help and hope to see you there. :thumb:

[CaptNorris5]

I'm interested, but a total newbie. Just bought my first TJ a couple months ago. Any chance there's room for a non-member? What would I have to do to be able to tag along?

[Trail_Fanatic]

Oooooo a virginnnnnn!


JK, but I'll let the Trolls let you know what equipment should be needed.

I'm guessing the same requirements as last year; Show up and have fun :thumb: Last year was a real good time, wish we could make it this year.

[dustyxj]

CaptNorris5..... just come on out and join us... always happy to show someone around the wood.... promise I won't take you anywhere you can't make it.... having a CB is handy... other than that, just whatever you might want to munch or drink in your ride..... of course no alcohol is allowed, us fourwheelers have enough fun without it... :ahhh:

[CaptNorris5]

Sounds great! I think my dad, by brother, and I will all head out in my TJ. Thanks for being so helpful! Looking forward to seeing everyone

[hemrides]

Is there a place to leave a truck and trailer in Wolverine, or would it be better to drop it at Elmira and drive back to the Wolverine? I see it's only 29 miles back to Wolverine.

Thanks,

Dave

[fishyOO7]

Sounds like I convinced my wife to go. There will be 5 of us (1 is a baby and he won't need any food). It is our first time going on this ride.

About how long does the ride last?

[dustyxj]

it's about 2 hours to the lunch stop.. and around 1.5 hours after at the most... we could make it longer if anyone wants.... where we are ending, is right by the entrance to the jordan valley...

[Tumbleweed]

Looks like the Monkey and I are in. This will be our first outing in the new JK.

The best way would be at the Elmira gas station since they have more room.

[DieselMTU]

I am in... so far

[badazzamc]

looks like we will be there 2 adults and a 2 1/2 year old.

[dustyxj]

did we ever get that feature back on the site that would let people rsvp??? I kinda miss that..... made it easy to get a head count.. LOL

Thanks for the reminder Dusty!

[dustyxj]

Thanks, that makes it much easier....

[ditchbangin]

we will be there with 4 adults and 2 children

do you have an address or cords to this gas station? I am not familiar with the area.

Intersection of M-32 and US-131 about 12 miles west of Gaylord. BP gas station. This will be our ENDING point.

[oz97tj]

I want to come, but it looks like some family business will be happening on the same day so I'm out.

[Tumbleweed]

CB radios? Or is that a "Jeep Thing"?
Channel # ?
This is a new game to me! Yay!!!

[Tumbleweed]

Thanks, Zac. I'll have one just wasn't sure about others.

[timbercruiser]

Channel 4.

Thanks for the drinks!

[Tumbleweed]

Thanks T. C.

[brianskippy]

Will be there. Still haven't decided if it will be the TJ or the Liberty.

[timbercruiser]

We just pre-ran the route yesterday and it is great!
The colors should be at or near peak next weekend.
The trails had a few wet spots, but there is only one spot that would be a concern for lower clearance rigs, but fear not, there is a bypass!

The plan is to meet about 9:30ish and have a driver's meeting at 9:45ish. A group of about 25 will go when they are ready. About 15 minutes later, the second group will go. This should help move things along. After lunch, we may become one big group, depending on how many people split off after lunch.

See you all Saturday!

[fishyOO7]

We are looking forward to it. Family is excited to go camping and see the colors.

[DDS4X4]

Have a GREAT time!
Sorry you won't get to see me, but then there will be more hot dogs for others.
Weather report looks good from here.

[Greenway]

Fishy007, Look me up when you are there.

[MrsRedRuby]

Well, it looks like we won't be there there but the weather reports do look promising. Hope everyone has a good time.

[Tumbleweed]

Trolls:
Thank you so much for hosting this event. My little group had a great time and can't wait to do it again.

[dustyxj]

A big thanks to everyone that came out to play in the woods with us.... couldn't have asked for better weather, or better people to spend the day with... :yourock:

[rtikql8]

There's one in every crowd! ;-)

Comparison and contrast

[CaptNorris5]

Thanks to the Trolls for having us. My dad and I had a blast on our first off-road trip in the TJ. There'll be many more to come for sure.
