    Plenty of room.
    What is nice is the main trail is a good one where you can drive a 2wd drive truck or car through and pick out a spot to camp.
    2 nice harbors on Lake Huron are closeby, Port Sanilac 5 miles North and Lexington, MI 5 miles south. Good variety of riding, woods, gravel roads, singletrack. You can walk across street and walk on the beach , party store/bar, one mile away. Its nowhere near the riding of Northern Michigan but still a nice place for a weekend trip. I am heading there in AM for Easter weekend, bringing my KTM 250 sx, I ride miles on back roads, mx bike only, no lights or plates, no issues if you stay out of town or on gravel.
    A plated bike even better as gravel roads everywhere, you can ride to many scenic spots on gravel and ride into town for gas or lunch, so stay around camp or take a day trip, many options.
    The Husky would be ideal.

    Mailed stickers to all who paid today...thanks

    Paul I'm leaving the south side heading toward Café 58 because I'm not sure I remember exactly how to get to Moto Supreme but if it's real muddy there probably won't ride it much.

    So I put on a front tire and was lubing the chain and found the counter shaft seal was leaking. DRZ finally skipped a beat on me. Looks like it just started too. Luckily I had a seal kit on hand. Good to go.

    Perfect day for you guys to roll south.
    The screen on the KTM is awesome.
    You guys need to hit some of the stuff south of Shoals and west of French Lick. Lots of gravel and few people.

    I'll just say these are the kind of models I like to work with:
    I ask Paul to flex and he did!

    I told Nick to grab Paul's ass and he did! Pic is a little late.
