Dude if I can make it half way across the country for this, im sure you can make the hour drive up there.

How are you going half way across the country? You know how big the country is right?

the army doesnt play nice though, i doubt i will be getting out of this one. im bummed. and its really only about 40 minutes from my house ha ha

Im taking the great circle route. I kindof have to theres a big ass lake in my way. Who are you to talk you arn't even coming....

Fair enough. I guess I cant complain too much about that. I will thank you for your service by having enough fun for the both of us.

Don't look so good for me. This sucks

Ill still be there, even though everyone is backing out...typical of anything that happens in MI (01_ranger_4x4 is exempt from this comment)

Lol that's a small drive since half way across the country is 2500 miles

i Have no money to go. :(

im still on damit!

i'm still going to be there. its only an hour away so im there once or twice a month.

Matt, Aaron and myself will be arriving late Wednesday night. Probably between 10 and 11 pm.

Have fun guys, im not making this one. Im taking too much time off of work as it is.

oh ok, well I'll probably see you guys late morning then. I'm going to try and leave here really early morning so I can get there and get setup and go out with you guys at a decent time. Did I read that check in isnt until like 2pm? if so wtf do I do if i show up way earlier than that? also when do you guy usually head to the dunes? and when do you come off

Its a solid 11 hour drive both ways, so unless you are leaving before 2 am I dont think you will really have a problem. Theres a time zone change in there too. They may let you check in earlier if the site is available. If not you can take the trailer to the dunes directly and drop the Ranger in the parking lot and then check in later. Honestly I would leave right at 4 am. Any earlier or later you risk getting stuck in rush hour in chicago. You have my number give me a call when you get off of US-31 and we will come meet you.

Remember to bring cash for tolls. I priced it out and it looks like $12 each way for tolls with 3-4 axles.


The camp ground is 2 miles from the dunes. We leave in the morning when everyone is up and ready to go. We come back when we feel like it, or when ever Rob's distributor gives out. lol. They open at 9am and close at 10, with the last vehicles allowed in at 8:30. I would highly suggest seeing at least one sunset over the dunes.

Is Ace still coming?

Naw he couldnt get his ladies to come, so hes not coming. I tried to talk him into it, but he wouldnt go for it.

school man it blows

aww wtf! you go or im not going!
