ranger05, glad to hear your going to make it!

Well I finally made my reservations at Yogi Bear for the trip. I have site 180A (I think) in the back corner from June 3rd through the 6th. Anyone else who wants to camp there as a group tell them you are with the Ranger Forums group and they will put you in the back corner as well.

do you mean 81A? thats the back corner spot.

Only 3 nights? You know they have the stay 3 nights get the 4th night free thing again, right?

I will be there the 2nd-7th depending on who else is willing to go out there a couple days earlier. I would still like to check out the trails in the national forest that is about an hour north of there.

My91Ranger 02-24-2010 09:44 AM

It might be 81A thats why I was guessing. I am getting the free night as sunday night so I can leave later this time. Normally we never wheel on sunday, but I might try to this year. And i'm not going any earlier because I can't get the time off of work. New job does not have any vacation time.

99greenranger 03-10-2010 08:43 PM

Wish I could make it but I am going the next weekend and cannot afford two weekends in a row.

JoshK 03-20-2010 06:49 PM

put me down as a maybe..................Just have a lot going one so it will be a last min thing.

INT3RC3PTOR 03-20-2010 08:35 PM

damn guess I better make mine soon. I will be tenting again but I'll try and get near the corner, although I liked my huge site I had before. I'm going early matt, I'm leavn early wed. morning so I should be there mid day or so. I think I'm going to take the ferry this year too :)

0RangerEdge2 03-20-2010 08:46 PM

Haha you're going to take the ferry! :P I'll be going this year, possibly with a +1. I think I'll stay where I did last time, right across from the campground pretty much.

INT3RC3PTOR 03-20-2010 09:21 PM

nah I wish I could take it so I didnt have to drive through chicago etc with the truck on a trailer. But the ferry literally rapes you if you have a truck and trailer. literally!

**** so do tolls lol when i came back from getting my boat i spent prbly 20 bucks just in tolls and it was only 1 extra axle lol

INT3RC3PTOR 03-21-2010 02:30 AM

yeah I took a bad way last time and hit a few extra tolls I didnt need too and I got f'd in the a. Got charged $10 to go over a damn bridge into indiana basically, I was pissed.

rangerluc 03-21-2010 10:26 AM

zabeard 03-21-2010 12:47 PM

yeah i know what you guys mean, taking my ranger to North Carolina and the Navigator I got raped as well. its great.

morris 03-21-2010 06:58 PM

andy, don't they have height restrictions on those things?

i just booked my hotel room. coming up sat night june 5. if we get up there early enough we'll meet up with the rest of you.

i'm staying at the comfort inn on 7576 S Pere Marquette Hwy. it's 20-25 mins north of the park. i tried to get a room at the comfort in hart but i should have booked it earlier. last week there was 2 rooms left and i didn't do it. they are both about 20-30 mins away.

off topic question but still on topic since you gus are there already. if i go from silver lake to chitown, are there tolls, when i looked the only one i saw was I90 and i can take I94 to avoid that one. i'm going almost downtown and staying at the HoJo on lasalle street.

99offroadrngr 03-22-2010 07:57 AM

Do the hotels usually get booked fast down there?

zabeard 03-22-2010 08:06 AM

yes, they are probably all booked. thus why we camp.

once you get into Michigan there are no toll roads from Detroit to Silver Lake.

You are probably going to take 96 to 31 at least i probably would.

zabeard 03-22-2010 08:18 AM

if you are serious about it you should.

99offroadrngr 03-22-2010 08:29 AM

thanks. i was gonna do that. maybe 94 to visit some family then i could hop up to 96 near them. the only toll in IL is 90 i'm guessing?

as for getting a room or site, if i was you, i'd do it quick. last week when i looked the one hotel had 5 or 6 and now there is nothing. the place i got had 2 that were nonsmoking, king. now 1, and 2 that were double beds available.
