Hey everyone, I just got back from a 4 day trip to my family's summer home near Paw Paw, Michigan and I thought I'd share a few pics of the adventure. We're in a pretty rural area with a lot of wooded trails, so they sure got their use.

Me and a friend on the trails (I'm on the '81 and he's on my B.R.)

This was my sketchy hillbilly engineering I came up with to launch our ancient paddle boat at the boat drop next door with my Big Red.

Even the Z50 saw some action.

And lastly, I couldn't leave out our '83 Baja. It has super low hours and a 175 horse V6 Johnson on it. It sure goes! http://i196.photobucket.com/albums/aa260/olbluesilverado/3wheelers7.jpg?1282085161

I guess you can say we are stuck in the 80's. At least we don't dress the part lol. Needless to say, I had a blast. I want to try and make one last trip back up there before the summer comes to a close. Maybe Labor Day? We'll see.

Thanks guys. The funny thing is all my trikes are older than me except the Z and maybe the B.R. (I was born July of '86). Yeah I'm sad I had to leave so soon, I really don't get up there enough. I'd like for that to change though. I don't believe any of the trails I went on were DNR trails; they are mostly old snowmobile trails that were made in the 70's and then abandoned. One trail still has an old sign that says DNR approved with a pic of a sled on it, but my guess is it hasn't been touched by the county in the better half of 25 years.
