Fall Color Tour

[WILMA]

For owners of all types of 4-wheel drive vehicles: Pickups, Tahoes, Durangos, Explorers, Sport-Tracs, Cherokees, Grand Cherokees, Suburbans – anything with 4 tires and the ability to drive both axles!!


We will be taking a leisurely drive along dirt roads, forest roads, and 2-tracks in Northern Michigan to enjoy the beautiful fall colors!
If you join us, you will periodically need to use 4-wheel drive. If you are not accustomed to using your 4-wheel drive system in the dirt, why not learn how from some experienced four-wheelers? We will not be doing any obstacle-type trails, so the chance of scratching or damaging your beloved SUV will be next to nada! Our color tour will look nothing like those Toyota truck commercials you’re used to seeing on TV! Note: A “special” run will be available for those who want to get dirty!!!
Come join the Trolls for a day of fun and fall scenery, unmatched anywhere in Michigan!
We will meet in the morning on October 16th and head to the woods! Pack a lunch and bring a camera! Note: There will be absolutely no alcohol allowed on this trip! If alcohol comes with you, you don’t come with us!!
The Trolls are a group of family four-wheelers based in Northern Michigan. We love to load up the kids and hit the trails! We enjoy introducing others to the responsible use and enjoyment of their 4-wheel drive vehicles. Come join us and experience something new on October 16th!
There is no charge for this event, but we would appreciate it if you would let us know that you are going to attend! To let us know you are attending, either mail the form below to the address listed, phone Tina Brasseur at (231) 238-0964, or e-mail Tina at brasseur@localnet.com. We look forward to seeing you on October 16th!

I&#39;ll be there. I&#39;ll e-mail the form later. We may bring both Jeeps as my wife likes to drive on outings like this, or maybe I&#39;ll just ride shot-gun for once and snap pictures all day.

MAN&#33;&#33;

I&#39;d be offended by that...................

If it weren&#39;t true&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;

:lol:

[PeteC]

T-way will be the one wearing the most outrageous camo with the shiniest dome. He is definetly hard to miss.... :wacko:

JoAnn and I are planning on being there. My parents will also be attending in their Liberty again.

Tina, my dad was surprised and taken aback that Liberty&#39;s were not included in the list of 4x4 vehicles :lol:

Not sure if we will be staying at the Sturgeon River campground in Wolverine or at our friends place in Waters. But we will be there. I just hope we hit the colors on the right weekend this year. But, this is Michigan and you never know. Will be a nice drive in the country either way.

Will send the forms as soon as I get a minute at home.

[WILMA]

Hey Pete,

Sorry about Liberty&#39;s not being on the flyer I will make sure our Secretary fixes that.

Glad you are coming see you there.

[TOOLTIME]

[WILMA]

Four? I thought you had twelve kids&#33;&#33;

[WILMA]

He should now have 13 because everytime he goes away there is a new one in a stroller when he comes home. :D

[Roadhouse]

Four/Twelve....after two whats the difference :D

[NSANE]

Were seeing if we can make it. What hotel&#39;s are there that are close to were everyone is meeting up at. By the way we had a blast up in GG and it was great meeting some of you. Thank&#39;s for the great time. :D

[Roadhouse]

Is anyone camping for this event? What does everyone do after the ride is over Sat? Just wondering if I should stay up for the weekend, or just come up for the day.

[wildflower]

:ph34r:
JUST TO LET EVERYONE KNOW THAT WILL COMING TO THE COLOR TOUR PLEASE DRESS WARM&#33; RUMOR HAS IT THAT WE COULD GET SOME SNOW FLURRIES THIS WEEKEND. BUT IT WILL BE ON THE CHILLY SIDE FOR SURE. BUT I&#39;M SURE EVERYONE WILL HAVE A GREAT TIME. WE LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING ALL OUR FRIENDS AND MAKING NEW FRIENDS AS WELL. IF YOU QUESTIONS ABOUT ANY THING FOR THIS PLEASE JUST LET A TROLL KNOW AND WE&#39;LL ANY WAY THAT WE CAN.

WILDFLOWER

[Roadhouse]

Tina....quit shouting.

I heard a high of 47 on Sat with 50% chance of rain/snow.

[mazzola]

Tina,
Looks like boss threw a monkey wrench into this weekend. Have to attend mtg in his place out of town. (he went golfing) Won&#39;t get back until Fri evening....Won&#39;t be able to drive up until Sat morning, would get there after lunch. 3-4 hours of riding.....go to bed and drive home next day.....Not much relaxing.......That coupled with planting over 74 8-10 foot blue spruces and douglas fir pine trees in my yard (700 lb balls).
I&#39;m a bit whooped. I know it looks like I dodging you guys but really....I am planning on getting up there soon&#33; Have fun and stay warm&#33;

[DDS4X4]

I too, am going to miss out on a FUN day with the Trolls, viewing beautiful MI. I was hoping to make the Color Tour since I didn&#39;t make GG. Read your GG posts and sounds like a GREAT trail ride ... one of these years.

I had an offer to ride shotgun this weekend with a guy from Louisville, KY. We are taking his lifted and locked Wrangler, while we tackle some of the toughest trails southern IN has to offer. I have never experience anything other than mild and intermediate trails with our Grand, so I&#39;m looking forward to a new thrill/scenery that my stock Grand will never experience.

Have a good ride ... be safe ... have fun ... stay warm&#33;

[wildflower]

Doug maybe next year. None of us would turn down a chance like you have either. Have a great time. See ya on the trails&#33;
Wildflower ;)

[T-way]

Yeah Doug....what Tina said&#33;&#33; None of us would turn down a chance like that, so be sure and enjoy yourself&#33;&#33;&#33;

And by the way...you&#39;re right....you DO need to get up to Gitchee Gumee&#33;&#33; And if you&#39;re concerned about taking your Grand on the Canadian trails, well, there&#39;s always some of us with open passenger seats&#33;&#33; You would be more than welcome to ride shotty with us for the weekend&#33;&#33;

[mudbubbler]

I just want to say I had a great time and I think I can speak for everyone in my truck to say they had a grest time also. I just wish the weather was a little nicer. Having the cb really made the day though. If anyone has anymore requests I would love to try and sing them for you. :D

[spoiledbrat]

Thanks to trolls&#33; We had a great time also, nice to see the colors. I just wish it could of stopped raining for a few minutes. Sorry we missed the nite run, just to tired. Nice drive home, we back roaded from 68 down to Grayling.

It was a little odd looking in the rear view mirror and seeing that huge truck&#33; Looked like you guys had a good time.
:D

[wildflower]

Thanks to everyone that showed up. I know the stock run had a awesome time.
If you didn&#39;t have a cb you missed a great time with the show tunes that were done. Thanks for making the day even better. The Troll&#39;s hope to see ya all in April for the 11th Annual Spring Opener.(April 1-April 3 2005). And back again for the color tour next year&#33;
See ya&#39;s on the trails sometime&#33;
