Every time one of these rides comes up, I am always amazed (and jealous) of you guys can find time to do make a multi-day trip. Some day, maybe, I can join you all. The U.P. is (virtually) my back-yard (or maybe attic is more accurate) but I still can't get away for such a trip - particularly in the summer. Just make sure to post up some pics!

Cyborg, Delling3... make a day trip out of it- come up for one of those days. Also keep in mind that I will be doing a side trip (Wednesday?? Possibly Sunday on the way back to NY) to Tunnel of Trees.

That is an idea. But would need a day by day location, or some sort of agenda, to find a place to catchup with the group

Just an FYI from a former Yooper. The Root Cellar Inn on Lake Gogebic, in the western UP offers $50 rooms and has cabins plus offers discounts to bikers. Check their website at: http://www.therootcellarresort.com.

This ride sounds like a fun event. I’m going to plan on getting in on at least some of it.

Wirelic... should I put you down for coming? If yes, send me an email at briank9803@gmail.com with your contact info. There are a few spots left and need to reserve a spot for you in a cabin. Unless you wish to camp on a tent site. Either way let me know. - Brian
