    [QUOTE=Blackened300a;1103092]The drive there is fine, just the 800mile drive home when I know I'll be sitting in hours of traffic into NY has me so against doing these 800 mile drives. Plus MV7, I had car trouble on the way out, MV8 I had car trouble on the way home. Both times I made it home, but I don't like tempting fate being stuck in unknown areas.[QUOTE]


    Paul I did not know you were having issues with the car? From time to time I read a post where you are replacing or repairing something.
    I agree NYC traffic sucks, BIG TIME however it is the place you call "home" I can find no fault with that

    And she did GREAT! Mel has been driving mine again every now and then after almost a 5 year break. She has even been known for a little tire shredding. I couldn't get her to run it at the track a couple months back, but soon enough she will... Baby steps.

    Grand Rapids is a good airport to fly into as Kalamazoo is another good one. Both are one hour away.
    Know the area well, married a Grand Haven girl in '77...
    We drove from Clearwater, FL to Grand Haven in 22 hours straight one time, young, dumb and full of ### at 19 years old, never again, it's a 2 hotel drive for me nowadays.
    Hope you are considering a trip to the Gilmore Museum, one of the best car museums I've ever been to.

    OK folks --here we go--pay attention and follow along---

    Leave at 7:00 a.m., be there by 7:00 p.m., NBD, but I'll prolly split it up into a two day trip and enjoy the drive.

    Exactly--that's the whole point of MV=--to drive your MM's and enjoy the countryside--that is part of the whole process--or maybe you all didn't get that somewhere along the line---

    Well, then why the -I can't do it--its too far syndrome? Re-read above^^^
    that's is what makes it so much fun--that's why we bought these beauties among other reasons-----

    Exactly- -that's what I have been saying--check above^^^^

    As I have said --rethink it--that's why we have these beauties==and to enjoy the country as well---if something is in need--plan the fix and lets go west bound and down!

Thats the problem I have with such far and exotic locations for MV's. If it was a M-F event I would have no problem....but since its a W-Su event that makes it a bit tough.

    I did 19 straight hours from St. Louis back to S.A. for MV6 and that was rough. This would be a 1,300 mile trip and 23 1/2 hours one way. So its a tough call. I hate missing MV's

    Mike

    Once again--another out loud of why I can't make it due to too many miles--Hey y'all that's what the car is for--to drive---yeah I am late in driving mine --but that is the whole concept here--really not necessary to explain why you don't or can't drive that distance----take the time-- if all were to fly--we may not have many MM's--dang!

    Well, I did bump the rear of a Linclon LS and I can understand--but the main item is to have our MM 's with us--if not--there is only one half of the event accomplished--the gather of our MM family--with not as many MM's---

    ok--carry on--.....

    Where In Michigan?

    Is this to be in South Haven?

    The Badger is the last large coal burning steamship in the United States:

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SS_Badger


    The S.S. Badger connects the eastern and western segments of U.S. Route 10, shown here in red.



    Michigan has more coastline (3,000 miles) than the entire East coast of the USA.

    Minnesota has 10,000 lakes. Michigan has 11,000. It has more lighthouses than any other state.

    When Horace Greeley said "Go West young man", he was speaking of Michigan. It was the wheat-belt of the USA (before the mid-west plains became the wheat-belt). Michigan lumber built Chicago.

    The Grand Rapids metropolitan area in Western Michigan is the fastest-growing metro area in the state, with over 1.3 million residents as of 2006.

    Agriculture also serves a significant role making the state a leading grower of fruit in the U.S., including blueberries, cherries, apples, grapes, and peaches. A wide variety of commodity crops, fruits, and vegetables are grown in Michigan, making it second only to California among U.S. states in the diversity of its agriculture.

    Michigan has the largest deposits of sand in the world. Michigan is fifty percent forest land, much of it quite remote. Michigan ranks first in the nation in licensed hunters (over one million).

    Michigan has the largest state park and state forest system of any state.
    Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore was named by ABC's Good Morning America as the "Most Beautiful Place in America":
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sleepin...onal_Lakeshore
    1957 Custom 2 dr Sedan, 1979 F-series 14' U-Haul 330 XD, 1979 F150 4X4 428 PI/CJ heads/NP 435/4:11 axles-rear Det. Lkr., 1993 Grand Marquis, Y2K CVPI supercharged 5.4, 2003 MM

    The more I learn, the more I find out I don't know.

    Confusion will be my epitaph...

    Home of the Berserker Marauder, one of the ancient Norse warriors legendary for working themselves into a frenzy before a battle and fighting with reckless savagery and insane fury, held to be invulnerable...shirtless regardless of wounds...(possibly due to ingestion of psychotropic and hallucinatory drugs such as Fly Agaric Mushrooms)...

    Thats up nort' from me (Lake Geneva). It does put you close to the SS Badger. I'm thinking I'll combine travelling to MVX with the Lake Michigan SS Badger ferry crossing as I have always wanted to ride it. Same driven miles & distance for me as a direct drive but broken up with a 4 hour cruise complete with restaurant, full bar & entertainment! Maybe we could meet up if you have interest...
