I dunno but they advertise it. There is also "my US address" or "my Detroit address" dot com. They are righ up Randolph at gratiot. You can keep it there longer then UPS. Buy a ton, leave half there for next time when you can bring back more with being under the limit.

I told him that, pick one up on the way. Come a day of two earlier and crash on Justin's couch and spend it looking for a quad.

That pick was my first time there, however I wasn't in any pics since we stayed in pentwater and only came down for the one day.

Quick poll: Is anyone else bringing their wife/girlfriends/female friends?

My fiance, then wife, isn't big into offroad trucks or whatever but is excited to at least see the Dunes.

Minnesota ain't exactly close to here either.


I've been debating bringing my Fiance as well. Knowing her i'd have to bring two quads, cause she'd take my frickin truck if i didn't have anything for her to do.

Well, Since some of us are planning two trips, I might not bring her on the long one, but bring her on the short weekend trip.

she isn't into the whole offroad truck thing as much as she likes to putz around on a quad. Plus she likes to camp.

Also, I can get into more trouble without her.


I also forgot to mention. Last year on saturday afternoon some dude rolled his jeep the same way Andy and Rob got stuck, he just thought he could get out of it, but he rolled it good.
