SIlver Lake 7-31 to 8-3 2009
« on: July 17, 2009, 04:12:14 PM »
Ill be at Silver Lake all day Friday (7-31-2009) through Monday afternoon (8-3).

Throwing it out there if anyone is intrested in meeting up for some riding / video work, and possibly a drink in the evenings around the campfire.

Nutz you going to be around?

So far 2 Cudas will be there, I need to make some calls to see if others are planning on that weekend.

Hope to see you there!  8)

I may be there even if just in my old POS ford truck. I got a couple people who called to look at my quads this weeked (17th-18th-19th) and if they buy them I only got the truck for the dunes unless I pop onto a screaming deal for a new toy!

Will have to see as it gets closer.

Long drive.... I would only recommend that drive on a not so busy weekend. Still be a good few there on those weekends.

But it looks like you would take 35 from Witchita area and follow it up to highway 80 near Des Moines then head east on 80 till you get near Michigan and 196 which will also be/turn into 31. Follow 31 north to the Shelby or Hart exit.

Getting into Silver Lake on a holiday weekend is a MAJOR BITCH.

The parking lot is small and only a few trailers can get in (how many depend on the size. A couple hundred is PACKED!) Its better to be "DUne ready" and have your dune toy on the back of a flatbed truck but even Dune ready vouchers are a pain to get sometimes (and I live twelve miles away)

Due to the congestion on holiday weekends MANY people now come the weekend BEFORE or the weekend AFTER so they too are realllly busy.

The 4th of July and the Memorial and Labor day weekend are the worst. This weekend this post is about should not be super bad... But if a whole buttload of people all decide to hit Silver LAke it gets crowded fast. The DNR opens th voucher center and if you do not have a voucher you don't get in if its busy.

Getting in Silver Lake is its biggest "achilles heel".

you will eventually get in, it just may be wayyyy later than you want.

Thats why I go for so long. It should not be too bad though. Glenn I drove further than that to get to LS  ;D
