Hooked
2019 is here and its time to start planning the summer runs. It looks like the run to Drummond Island this year will be July 31, 2019 thru August 4, 2019. For those of you that didn't make it last year, we had an Epic long weekend of running beautiful and some challenging trails and making life long friends.

Like last year, the plan will be to arrive on Wednesday onto the island and get settled. My group as well as many other will be staying at the Drummond Island Resort. It is great rustic resort that is quite reasonable and will also be the kick off point for the trail runs as the main trail head is across the street from the resort. There are also campgrounds there locally if you would prefer. There might be a night run or two, but the main trail days will be Thursday, Friday, and Saturday we will go back to Turtle Creek, which was one of my favorite runs of last year. We only covered about two thirds of the trails last year, so there will be plenty of new trails to explore along with the beautiful Marble Head loop. We will be on our own for food, so bring what you need. There are a couple of restaurants there on the island for Breakfast and Dinners. Lunches will be on the trail so pack food. Below is the information for the resort. Looking forward to seeing everyone again.

I’m ALL in, my wife and daughter want to ride along this year so I think I’ll rent/borrow a gooseneck and trailer it up this year. We booked our room at the resort last weekend and are leaving the Sunday before. I want to take her past Baldwin and Traverse City on the way up and we are going to Mackinac on Sunday and Monday on the way home. I just have a little orange 2 door

I have a feeling you won’t be calling it little for much longer

If we can swing it, maybe we can meet up at the dunes before as you guys are working your way up.

Added!
 
Don’t think we can make it this time. We headed to Moab and Ouray Colorado July 12th -July 26th. I’m gonna plan to go on this trip next year.
Subscribing anyway to keep track of the trip.

Put me down as going. Unsure of the exact day I'll be able to get there - will update as soon as I figure that out. Probably get there Thursday but we'll see. Also not sure what Jeep I'm driving. For now I'll go with Gruff. Looking forward to meeting everyone!

Likely staying in the lodge

Hmmmm let me think this over, we better have a CAMPFIRE NIGHT! But you all know I am in.

And yes I will have the entire week off, so I would be interested in hitting the dunes if possible.
