The old Arsenal of Democracy Chapter used to have a mid-winter party and for a short while one of the members used to host a winter trail ride at his house near Mio. I sure do miss those mid-winter events, especially the trail ride when folks would bring out Weasels, Otters, Sno-Cats, and Huskies to play on the snowmobile trails.

I would come to the show but I am not going to sell anything. You sound like my wife. I need all that stuff just like I need all the contents of the gun safe. I always ask my kids whose house there friends would come to in case of a zombie invasion and the answer is always our house. Can't fight zombies without spare parts. I would love to have a winter event.

What about the silver lake dunes event?

OK I just got done checking everything and the Silver Lake MV show will be on Sept. 13 2008. I was also talking with another guy about trying to set up a SS Michigan ralley that same weekend here and take trail rides throught the Manistee National Forest on the trails that run all through there. We could ride friday, go to the show sat. morning, ride sat. evening and sunday.

Ted, I really like the idea of a winter swap meet somewhere. I know it's the time of year that I'm looking for the most parts to finish projects.

As far as Clare, I like it when it is. I'm so darn busy with work during June and July that I'd never have the time to head to Clare.

Winter swap meet date/location ideas...either December, January, February.
December=no money, buying Christmas presents
January =no money, paying for Christmas present
February =need parts and hoping for the IRS send back our money to use at swap meet.

Location could be Grayling, Clare, Mt. Pleasant, Lansing, Jackson, other? I can try to arrange a Lansing location if there is interest. Anyone else in another location? I think between now and Clare, we should have some good ideas as to who, what, when, where.

Regards,

Looks like March is it! Can you get a building Just north of Lansing? I know I could have one up here somewhere but doubt anybody would come. Would anybody be willing to drive and bring parts to Gaylord for a swap meet?
Shoot I wonder if we cant throw together a little one this year.. Custer is not until the end of April and thats not a swap meet. We really only have two, Midland and Clare. If anybody would be game the trails here are mighty snowy and muddy in March... Hell a non seasonable road would be a winch using adventure.. lol
