Muskegon would be up and then back down for a few of us here. I-65 is a good idea.

hey arnie how far are you from ada, i work down there and i think k-zoo isnt to far, is it?

what town is near i65 where you plan to meet

 

[Arnie897]

Ada's about a hour North of Kzoo. I was just thinking that we could all drive down there and get on I-65 South and stop at the first truck stop or something.

I could have sworn I said I'm in already but for sure regardless of what happens, gas will go up and I will still burn it.

 

[frdtrckmnrich]

i don't have a map in front of me right now but k-zoo is ok with me..i already know how to get there.
hey 351wexplorer where exactly are you from? maybe we'll meet up and then meet the rest of them.

 

[Arnie897]

Kzoo might be out of the way for most MI people...

How bout around here?

 

[frdtrckmnrich]

if it's on the way it's ok with me.the next ? will be when? fri? thurs? morning night afternoon?

 

[frdtrckmnrich]

If you're gonna wheel a few days you should think about booking a motel in the area or reserving a spot at the campground.

It might be a bit too early for that but never hurts really to just keep it in mind.

We usually stay in at Ramada-Inn in Lafayette, IN... large parking, close to the I-65 and not too far from Attica. Danville, IL is also a good choice.
Here's the map to help you visualize where the park is in relation to Lafayette and Danville... park is in the middle - green dot.

 

[351wExplorer]

im from newaygo, so i would probobly go through muskegon anyway to get there

 

[frdtrckmnrich]

351wEXPLORER is your x a red 2 door? have you been to silver lake this year?

 

[Arnie897]

I'll probably be staying at Summer's Carol Campground....I'm assuming a few other's, like Dman, will be there too...but don't take my word for it.

 

[frdtrckmnrich]

ARNIE897 is that a nice campground? is it far from the trails? what does it cost?

 

[Arnie897]

The top dot is the Campground and the lower dot is the Badlands.

Summer's Campground
5509 North 200 East
Attica, IN 47918

765-762-2832

Primative Campground

$14 per night for two people
$7 per night for each additional adult

Water + Eletric

$18 per night for two people
$7 per night for each additional adult

Recomended that we reserve early since June books quickly.

It's a very nice campground....just don't burn palletts.

 

[Arnie897]

8 miles from the Badlands apx...Also...from what I've heard this is much better than the campground that is attached to the Badlands. I have stayed at this campground and have never been kicked out.

I would recommend that anyone camping should get a primative site here!

 

[351wExplorer]

yeah i have a red two door ex and yes ive been up to silver lake, have you seen me up there???? what where you driving??

 

[Arnie897]

This is by far the most MI activity I've seen on this site since I joined!

 

[mynameisaric]

why arent the illinois guys representing?

 

[Buckshot]

I think the Indiana crowd is just letting Arnie's Michiganders take over the thread becasue we can wake up, roll out of bed, and be there.

 

[Arnie897]

That's right....rub it in... We have the opportunity to see the beautiful country side on the way there though.
