I grew up in Montcalm County near a state game area. In the 60's we used to go on the trails there with everything from bicycles to tractors to 4wd's. Around 1970, the state came in and plowed up one of the open areas we used for camping (to keep trucks and bikes out) and tore out trees to make fire breaks (there has never been a fire there). Now they have put up gates to keep you out. I found this out this spring when I wanted to take the Jeep back there to see it again. I haven't been back there in 20 yrs.
While I wouldn't knowingly go somewhere illegal, I understand what gasitstupid is saying.

FYI
I'm only bringing this up, because no one else has said anything, or confirmed campsites etc.
The camping site only has 5 sites. 2 vehicles per site, not including quads and boats etc. There is currently a Statewide burning and Fireworks ban, that may or may not be lifted on June 21st.
The sites also have to be reserved with the US Forest Service @ 10.00 per night I think.
If these "rules" are not followed...I cannot participate. Mostly the site rules....
I'm not trying to be a dork. I just can't violate the rules, especially ones on Federal Land.

if you need directions to give me the beating i deserve, im just down the road and i will give em to you. make sure you threaten all the locals.. they love it...
the rest of you have fun!!!
