Color tour

[timbercruiser]

Your patience has paid off - Thank you:wave:

We will assemble at the Citgo west of Elmira (12 miles west of Gaylord on M-32) at 10 AM Oct 6. We may do a quick run to dead man's hill for pics, then through the woods to Wolverine on easy, yet scenic, trails. This is a VERY stock friendly ride, so bring a friend!

We will provide hot dogs. Let us know how many are coming so we can ball park the hot dog count. (get it?):hysterical:

My family of 3 will be there

[uncleedsjeep]

Me and the family makes 4 But Kayden is only 2 so he will only eat one dog.

THANKS...TIM

[bmpxj]

Count my family in for three.

[rltsjeep]

(2) adults; the wife wants to drive her Grand Cherokee, says I got no place to hold onto in my CJ5 plus she likes to keep the doors on.

plus (2) adults, another friend who wants to drive her own vehicle (Jeep Liberty)

THANKS...TIM

Technically no, but I think of it as cheap insurance from being hassled with by the DNR.

Plus they help pay for Trail Maintenance costs :)

[Jarhead]

I will be there with a couple of my kids...that makes three.

[timbercruiser]

Ditto. It's your call. I won't have one.

[yj_nexuz]

I'm down, hopefully 2 people if she can get the day off, if not, then just myself. I LOVE color tours!

[DieselMTU]

2 for sure now

[ugly]

[nosilla]

Count me in. 2 adults and 3 kids.

[T-way]

UPDATE:

The colors are starting to POP up here, and next weekend should be close to peak!!

And.....the weatherman is calling for temps in the 70s, and what appears to be a pretty darn nice day on Saturday!

I can smell those hot dogs cooking now...........:troll:

[tequilaman(Dave)]

Hello, well it looks like me and my family will join in on the color tour..Put us down for 2 adults & 3 teen kids..One question: is anyone following each other up there from the south of saginaw?? Was wondering if so, maybe we can follow up too..Were from the club ATVOC...:thumb:

[Rattler]

I am in Bay City just North of you tequilaman. We are leaving @ 7 AM Sat.

[BlueJay]

It sounds like a good time.Count me in. Maybe a co-pilot too.
Will be coming down from Petoskey.

[sunburnt]

I will be there with my wife and daughter and this will be our first trip in the area. Heading up from the Detroit area Friday night and can't wait to get up north. This will be our first organized trail ride and we don't have a CB or 2 way yet, I hope that will be okay.

[Jarhead]

zjguy721 (Brian) will be there as well.

We had a few technical difficulties so I am posting for Brian.:ironman:

[Rattler]

No CB here yet either. I have to put it on my list.

[Kyle Miller]

2 more for tour. Thanks Trolls

[tequilaman(Dave)]

Thanks for the reply's, I think we'll be on the road around 7am saturday, give or take a few minutes..This will be our first color tour too..I hear there alot of fun.. I just installed an old cb radio i had, i was heard over the air, so it must work..so what channel for cb's and hand-held walkies does everyone use..Just wondering....Should i bring anything to go with the hotdogs??? Thanks, we can't wait till saturday....Oh by the way i drive a red silverado ext. with a topper with our club site addy...

[MudGrl]

I am looking at possibly coming, won't know for sure until tomorrow. Since it's late notice, don't worry about me for food. No big deal. I'll be coming from the Bay City area as well, and it'd be just me as of now, unless I find a co-pilot.

[Novocaine]

If we head up, it will be just for the day. Will anyone else be trailering their rig? Is there a good spot to park my truck/trailer? Thanks in advance.

[Jarhead]

Bring what you got, bring what you want. The Color Tour is an opportunity to enjoy some of Michigan's Splendor - the details will work themselves out.

[GreyBeard]

Add two to the count for a friend of mine, Kim, and his passenger.
He will be driving his Dakota.
(by the way, he describes it as deep blue or purple - I wonder if some might call it Lapis Blue)

Kim came up with us to St Helen and West Branch area two weeks ago. That was the first time his 4WD Dakota had been off-road, and he has 200,000 miles on it. You should have seen the grin when get made up one of the sand climbs at the bowl in St Helens.

Sorry, doesn't look like I will be making this one, although I would love to.

[timbercruiser]

Sounds like quite a crew. I was just looking for a CB for myself, too. I'll have a "trash talker" (family radio) with me so if you have one, bring it along in case you don't have a CB.

As for food, just bring along your favorite soft drink.

Dave

[MIhunter]

Well, plans have changed here @ home so me & my lil' guy can make it. We just got the Jeep loaded and we'll be on the road by 7 AM. See you @ the Citgo! We'll bring the sunshine!

[Troll53]

Enjoy all. I'm planning on attending next year. There will be another run next year right? :o

[dustyxj]

[Jarhead]

Thank You Troll's

[DieselMTU]

THANKS TROLLS :yourock:

[phittie1100]

Thanks for a good run, Trolls - next time I promise to Google the directions to the CORRECT Citgo station and actually show up on time. :ironman:

[MiniJ]

THANKS!!! Great run, trails, hot dogs, fall color and movie trivia....we had a blast.

Nice to meet some new folk too, it's always a pleasure.

[phittie1100]

Please make sure to fill out a Tailgate report for me to document the amount you spent this weekend!

http://www.glfwda.org/tailgate.html

[DieselMTU]

Just to be clear, on the tailgate report does selecting "no" for do I mind if a letter is sent to local chamber of commerce. That one will be sent? Or does Yes mean you have permission to send one?

[phittie1100]

Technically you should select "No" for I don't mind, but everyone ends up selecting "Yes" meaning it's OK to use their data. I need to get Kevin to fix the wording on it, because when I reviewed my first form, my feedback said the opposite of what I intended.

[phittie1100]

Clear as mud?

[MiniJ]

I questioned that as well, and selected "no", i don't mind....so, hopefully it's interpreted as yes, please send one :wacko:

[DieselMTU]

Mmmmm Mud, Tasteeee

[Rattler]

I posted some of my pics up on the event pics page.

By chance does anyone have a copy of the trail route we took on their GPS? I seemed to have somehow erased mine!:banghead:

We stopped at the park by the elk viewing in Gaylord the next day. A couple friends also from Bay City ended up walking by us there!

[DieselMTU]

I did track our route on my GPS (Garmin Rhino) but I do know how to get it off the GPS and to some one.

[Rattler]

Do you have a cable to connect your GPS to the PC?

[MiniJ]

Check with Zookeeper on the GPS...he tracked it all day too.

I'll try and get pics up this weekend, this week's just too crazy and I don't have time.

[DieselMTU]

Do you have a cable to connect your GPS to the PC?

Yes I do, and I have uploaded / downloaded way points to and from the GPS. Just have to delv into things a bit further. May be a project for tonight.....

[Rattler]

OK. If you figure out how, I can use about any file type. Garmin stuff is pretty much .gpx There is actually some info in the latest Boondocker that may help you too.

[timbercruiser]

Glad everyone enjoyed the day!!

No snow this time. Sorry.

[T-way]

I would just like to take an opportunity to say a big THANKS to everyone who showed up for the Color Tour! We had a great day, and it was nice to see everyone who showed up for the run!!

And I would also like to apologize for not getting around to chat with all of you! There were a few people there that I didn't get to see, and I hope I'll get a chance to see all of you again real soon!
