• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software.

Tunnel of Trees Weekend - Michigan

I guess Bob & Joan got my wife excited about taking a weekend trip up to the Tunnel of Trees in Harbor Springs/Cross Village, Michigan. Short story...it's gonna happen. It looks like a terrific ride in beautiful country on a stretch of one of the most scenic roads in the country. We're planning on the 1st weekend in October with a stay over on Saturday. If the first weekend doesn't work, then the 2nd one. If anybody's interested in joining up with us post a note here in the forum. We'd like to get a hotel booked asap due to the high demand. Here's a link for info on the ride and possible lodging areas. This should be one of the best rides of the year.

Tunnel of Trees Lodging
 
Deb and I might like to do this. Last time we were up there, we camped in the KOA at Mackinaw City.
 
I think if we did it, we would likely camp...and maybe visit some friends up North, too. We'll keep it in mind. It's a little far ahead for us to say for sure. Oops, Nancy just told me the first weekend of October is homecoming, so she's booked for that one.
 
Geri and I are interested if we can get off that Friday.

By the way, there's a great KOA in Petoskey: "The spectacular Petoskey RV & Cabin Resort is located in beautiful Northwest Michigan. The park is rated #1 in Michigan by Trailer Life and it is among the highest rated RV resort's in North America." They close on 10/12.

We could either motel it or use the motorhome. By the way, I couldn't get the link to work for lodging.
 
On your way up to the Tunnel of Tree's ...I recommend you take M-22 and scoot around the Leelanau Peninsula....also the ride up Mission Point (M-37) to the Lighthouse has always been one of my favorites.
 
Joan and I are up for the Tunnel. The only weekend we have available is Oct. 1,2,3. So, if it's a go for that weekend count us in. We will probably stay in one of the area motels. Larry sent you an e-mail today regarding area motels.
 
I think I was a little over zealous on this one. I didn't realize that Bob had already started this trip as an organized ride and I extend my sincere apologies. Sorry ). Anyway..I don't want to confuse the situation, Bob will be coordinating details for this ride, one that we're looking forward to. Larry
 
we were up to the tunnel of trees last week if you stay at days inn in Petoskey you get a 20% discount if you are riding a bike

Joe and I would love to go, I think either weekend is good for us. If the majority are camping we would do that also (if I can figure out how to load the RT in the toy hauler without taking off the nose)
 
Would love to do this trip. It will give me an opportunity to haul my spyder in my toy hauler/camper then do the ride. Wouldnt mind staying a night or two. Waiting for more date details to confirm. Thanks to the organizers.
 
Wow, culture shock! I didn't envision RVs when I mentioned camping. How naive is that? I've gotta get out more! :roflblack:
 
Ok, it's official the dates for the Tunnel of Trees ride is going to be October 1,2,3. I made reservations for Joan and myself this morning at the Days Inn in Petoskey. They do offer a "bikers special" that is 20% off the room rate for any one that rides. The total room rate including tax is $153.70 for the two nights. I'm including the contact info for the Days Inn and for the Petoskey KOA for those of you that are going to camp.
.Days Inn
1420 spring Street (US-131)
Petoskey, Mi. 49770

They have the reservation tagged at Days Inn as Spyder Ride so they will you are with the group.

We hope as many of you can make as possible. The Tunnel is a beautiful ride and of course there is always Legs Inn for a lunch stop.
hope to see you there.
Bob
 
OK, we have reservations at the Days Inn. Now we just need to hope nothing on Geri's calendar or mine upsets our plans...
 
As a matter of fact I just made the reservations tonight for two nights @ the days inn for October 1st and 2nd. Look forward to meet many Michiganian Spyder riders.
