If someone reminds me this week i will create a flyer in PDF format advertising the forum, the meet & greet / BOTJ that everyone can print off. A lot of us see Cherokee's all over and wonder who they belong too, we can leave a flyer here and there and maybe bring in the numbers all around.
Use discretion when passing out flyers. We do not want to harrass soccor moms but if you see a truck that knows what dirt is, drop a flyer

If anyone needs any kind of info or is interested in camping or whatever or if you just need help figuring out the whole blessing thing this will be my third year going and it's not hard to become an expert. If some people need a place to camp i have a pop up i'm bringing and extra tents the whole kit and and kaboodle. I'm not afraid to share and would love some fire side drinking buddies.
Also from the looks of the list and looking at a map the M37 route idea should work better seeing as how it runs right into mesick the home of the blessing.
The guys coming from the east side would just have to meet us along the way from what i have gathered if we setup a meeting in GR and meet the guys from the east side in newaygo. That way they just have to shoot straight across the state on 66 jump to 82 and meet us in newaygo, we just need to coordinate times and meeting places. Nukinfuts if you want some help getting everything setup let me know and we can meet up get a plan together shoot me an email with your number this wouldn't be my first time setting up a rodeo and i'm getting pretty good at it.

I took 66 to 115 up last year. Made for a good ride with some changing scenery (other then billboards). Plus once we got up to 115 it was nothing but a train of Jeeps heading into Mesick...
Then the storm hit...

We had just hit the hotel (ya ya) being followed by a YJ with his top off. I think we broke a speed record for getting his top up and zipped up. Still ended up up soaked to the bone...

This is my first year and since you are in GR the two of us should get together during Spring Break and go over the trip. would be helpful for all of us.
and i'm down for the M37 route for sure

I'm sure one would do it but I don't think your INS would pay for it. Most INS have a dollar limit for the tow service (like a 100.00 bucks). INS companies will pay the service to haul your truck or car to the nearest service center, not to your home.

I was just looking at yahoo maps, Taking M37 seems father out of the way for the guys coming from the east side. Plus M37 is a regular road with traffic lights and stop signs and such right? Wouldn't it be better to take 131 out of GR and take that north untill we hit 115 and take that west to Mesick? 131 would be a highway and we would have a better chance of keeping everone together on a highway than taking a secondary road through towns and such.....just my 2 coppers.
