Going to Michigan

[flaya564]

I think there are alot of Bueller's in the Michigan area.

Heading to my friends house in reed city but making a few stops before then. Any places I should visit?

And no I'm not riding, I don't think I could do the 12+ hours from here.

Where in MI, I live in Muskegon which is half way up the lower pennisula onthe west side.

I'm going to be a little bit everywhere. I'm heading to royal oak, flint, big rapids, reed city and paris. Coming into detroit on the 15th and driving from there. The only thing set in stone is tubing in paris. got to love floating and drinking, Goodtimes.

Sounds like you will be mainly be on the East side of the state, have fun, I can't wait to move to Flordia. I am sick of the **** weather here in MI.

It looks like the closest I get is and 1.5 hours north of you. I don't blame you, no more snow just short rain showers. I went to school at CCS, the weather definitely sucked. Hot or Cold very little in between. That's why I'm back near the ocean.

The one thing about Florida is they use crushed sea shells for a road aggregate, and they are extremely slick when wet. I saw a guy and his wife on a dresser go down at say 10mph just leaving the base in Orlando. Just letting the clutch out on my truck would break the tires loose on that stuff. Fortunately, it would dry quickly, and they at least planned for some drainage.

You still need to be careful.

Good to know, it will be a while, maybe 2-3 years but if I am lucky it will be like riding on ice which you get use to after years of driving in MI.

We call it Florida Ice and its worse when it hasn't rained in a few weeks then we get a down pour.
