Hmmm. The good town with the good people and the good school huh?

Ok, I'll buy that. Anyway, if you guys decide to go anywhere close by let me know. I'd like to try out my new tires..

So let's decide already...

Hey all!

Marriage has somewhat limited my time on the boards. Needless to say, it hasn't been much of a sacrifice.

I'm all about another Badlands trip. I'm not sure I'd be able to do anywhere out of state at this point in time. I have a friend up in MI that would possibly bring along his Pathfinder if we go Badlands. He and I were thinking about a trip anyway and I was going to let you guys know what we decided anyway.

So, any final decisions? Don't decide on Badlands on account of me though.

I'm really considering in the spring selling both the runner, and the benz, and then getting a really nice sports car.

I hate you.......

ok let's decide on a place. I am tired of the badlands. need to explore more, but I need a better rig to explore more!


so... where to? nobody wants to go very far it seems like, and everyone wants to stay in their own state. I'm willing to haul my rig wherever! let's just go before the snow falls!

edit: i would def. be down for an IOWA run! just need to find a place to stay!

If it were somewhere within the 3-4 hr drive, I'd consider it

How about a run to the UP of Michigan-- we can drive around in the dunes. Never been there and I've always wanted to. Someone from the area might know more... I know there is some park where you buy a flag similar to the Badlands flag... I've seen it in car magazines.

I love Michigan and I'm up for a trip there any time!

I would definitly go to that! Are you talking about the dunes at silver lake? Like on the west side of Michigan? A lot of people say it's pretty fun and recreational

http://www.silverlakesanddunes.net/index.html

But if we do plan something, it'd have to be b4 Dec. 20th as I leave to go back to az that day.

edit: Anybody up for the weekend directly after Thanksgiving? Thanksgiving is on Fri. so maybe Saturday?

weekend of Dec. 6th is bad for me as well, Company x-mas party.

I would love to go, but the 4Runner is in the mist of the swap. January/February she will be ready. I guess I could take my stock Tacoma.

I hope to be done sometime mid Jan. or Feb. My axle should be done in a couple of weeks and then it is torch time. It will be a fun machine when she is done.
