If you think you're going to be there, describe what you all ride, Maybe a bunch of us can find each other there.
My wife and I both ride Warriors. Mine's a white and blue 99 w/ no stickers, and a BIG GUN exhaust.
Hers is a grey and blue 98, bone stock.

To all going to tip-up town couple things you may want to know.
the don'ts are
:no riding on snowmoblie trails[DNR have trail maps for quads to ride on just go and ask]
:no riding on the sides of the roads not even up on the snow [you will get a ticket $70.00]
:dont even think of riding double [$70.00 ticket]

the rest are just go out on the ice and have a blast once in a while some one starts up an oval race somewhere near the tip-up area.

If you plan on getting a room in houghton lake forget it you might get one in west branch just south of there.

Good reply, scottbl99. I didn't even think about warning anyone about those things. My wife(girlfriend at the time) and I got busted riding on the sides of roads, where the snomobile's ride. The cop escorted us home, then told us that it was illegal. Then he said that, had it been a different cop, the quads would probably been confiscated and impounded. This cop was pretty cool about it.
I might not be going to TipUp, now. Something unexpected has suddenly popped up.

scottbl99,
yah,your right.I got stopped a few yrs back for riding double on my 99 Sportsman 500cc 4x4.My friend Dan and I were headed out on the ice to our favorite fishing spot.We were NOT riding in a reckless or dangerous manner,we just wanted to get out to our fishing spot.DNR pulls me over and gives me the riot act on riding double.I told him I see nothing wrong with me riding double to my fishing spot and such a huge ATV,he AGREED.I could'nt beleive he did'nt fine me,I got lucky,
Bill

My wife and I were thinking about going up, and bringing both our 4-wheelers. We have no idea where to park the truck and trailer once we get there (on the ice?), and where to stay. Any ideas or info would be appreciated.

Yep, you can drive right onto the ice, it's what everybody uses as the parking lot. And it's totally legit.
Keep in mind, if your car breaks though, and sinks(which is VERY uncommon there), your insurance WON'T cover it.
You might wanna find a motel room outside of town, it's gonna be pretty occupied around the lake.
