First ORV trip advice

Planning on taking my stock 1994 Jeep Cherokee Country to an ORV park here in Michigan called the mounds tomorrow to see how she does with no upgrades other than her 30" tires. First, anyone know how I could get an ORV sticker short notice by tomorrow? Like what stores sell them? Any other tips? I know to carry all extra fluids for my Jeep, spare, some basic tools, but what else? Thanks!

Anywhere that sells DNR hunting licenses should be able to sell them to you, theyre printed on the same sticker, IIRC.

The Mounds is the one in Mt. Morris right? I used to live about 15 minutes from the ORV park there. But yeah, like Defiance said, anywhere that sells the DNR hunting stickers can get you an ORV one too.

^^ well said, Mark. Don't do anything you're unsure of. Just take it slow and learn how judge your lines, etc. Probably be a good idea to have someone go with you as a spotter.
