Ok I made it here -- better late then never... SpongeTom thanks for the intros...greets everyone! I'll get Dan to log in.
For the record, plan on Mike (me) and my wife (Kelly) and my brother (Dan) and his wife (Karie).
The wives are not experienced trail riders but considering rentals. Alternatively they may find other entertainment.

Tooltime, how advanced are these trails? My son (13) and Myself are considering heading up for this. We both have full size 4x4's but my son is not an advanced rider... Should we look to go on a different ride?

Mustang, Welcome! Take your standard Michigan 50'' trail and add rock. No hills, other than the steps at Marblehead. There are some deeper waterholes, but the good thing is they are basically rock bottom. The trails will wear you out psychically before your basic sandy trails would.
There are Routes as well as trails on the Island. Lots of very neat stuff to see. Like mentioned before, the Overlook at the Steps at Marblehead, Shale Beach, Maxton Plains to name a few cool things.
If you have never been there, it's defiantly worth putting on your list of places to ride. Hope you can make it! Cheers, TIm

Yes there is MIke. The Bear Track Inn is a great place to meet up for breakfast talk about the days ride and then head out from there. Owner Steve Walker (DRUMMOND) here on the board is always happy to answer any questions one might throw his way about the Island.

Wow, sounds great. Anyone need a ride up there? Otherwise, will just put the girly in the back of the truck.

My wife wants us to join y'all, there is some schedule juggling involved but as of right now we are on the list. I should have a definite answer in the next week or two.
