I think he's asking how does he cross with his ATV...

That I don't know. I've crossed on snowmobiles before [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] but usually I'll ride the area around the bridge and have friends meet me with a trailer to get across. I believe there are some trailering services there (although I'm not 100% sure) that for a price will transport the quick trip over the bridge and drop you off at the trail head there.

Just make sure you trolls leave lots of cash behind when you visit Gods country, and don't take anything else back with you [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]





troll - creature of Scandinavian folklore, variously portrayed as a friendly or mischievous dwarf or as a giant, that lives under bridges.

There are too many trails directly on either side of the bridge for you to cover in a weekend. michigan dnr website has maps you can print out of quite a few atv trails in the state.

Yes its legal. There are a few trails in the winter that are marked Snowmobile only but rest are open to riding.

Prairie - Glad to hear it was a good fit for you. I liked it alot - and its right off of I75 as well. If you like to gamble of course the casino is only 1/2 hr or so away too.

Still dickin around with the dealer to get my Sportsman purchased.

Great! Yeah its crazy...I've sent the dealer like 9 emails (we go back and forth a few times) and I don't get a response for a day or two. Might have to head over there but I hate setting foot on the grounds till I have a deal in hand.

Just shocking...I am trying to hook up a buddy pack of two 2004 ATV's and you'd think I was buying a hyundai or something the way the dealership is draggin its feet. I may have to go look elsewhere.

Feel free to let me know how you liked it (tdelongchamp@bdops.com) and let me know the next time you are up there.
