Drummond Island Trip 2013

JK320 · May 29, 2013

So tomorrow night we are heading toward Drummond Island, MI., making a quick over night stop at a friends cabin in Houghton Lake.
Then off to Drummond to stay at Big Pine Lodge at Papins Resort. I'll be the only JKU amongst a pack of Cherokees, I'm going to try and post pics along the way.
Here's my first pics of Hannah helping me top off the fluids in Daisy. She said when she grows up she wants a Jeep and wants to learn how to work on it. Love her!

Hey Donny,
It's a old Yakima rack, I don't know the model it just happened to fit my JK.
Here's a pic I hope it helps.

Maybe we all should try to plan a 2014 D.I. trip?
We have stopped for the night at my buddy's cabin, time to relax and get up early to hit the Island.

I did get good gas mileage on the way up. With my Flashpaq and K&N air intake and Magnaflow. Not bad with 35's and 4:10's

That's funny. That's about how long I've had mine. Packed those things through 4 states and about 9 moves! :yup:

Was planning on posting pic while we were there, but no good cell service on the island. So here's some pic, we had a great time. What a beautiful island, we will go back! Can't believe I've lived in MI. for 40 years and have never been here, that won't happen again.
