Michigan G2G at Bdubs of Lake Orion- 8-12-06

[DetroitGTX]

okay, been throwin this idea around for a while and finally talked to the lady at bdubs tonight. I think we should all meet at the local Lake Orion BW3's on august 12th. They have half a best buy's worth of TV's, a few pool tables, and good food. If yall wanted, we could meet there and show the trucks on saturday, get some grub and shoot some pool. We can have a nice little summer get together bout a week before the dream cruise activities.

For those of you who don't know, Lake Orion is about 5 miles north of I-75 off of exit 81. Some key places around us are Great Lakes Crossing mall, The Palace Of Auburn Hills, and uh... Pontiac?. Bdubs is about half a mile north of downtown Lake Orion.

Should be a good meet, if all goes well. We should try an meet there at about 12pm. Hope to see you all there! Contact me if you have any questions. Post here if you can make it.

[HemiDak]

I'll see about being there. Not sure what's going on then, but maybe I can bring my truck.

[DetroitGTX]

Hey, where in the fuck is Lake Orion? How far from Adrian?

[Kc_Rage_49]

Go north :-P

Lake Orion, MI
End address: Adrian, MI 49221
Distance: 94.1 mi (about 2 hours 0 mins)

[DetroitGTX]

like I said, hop on 75, shoot north till around pontiac/troy/auburn hills area. thats just south of Lake Orion. exit 81 (M-24) north till Bdubs. :drive: not too far... it'll be worth it. :beer:

[moore_716]

I'll see what I can do. I could use a break. I wasn't paying attn: to the original post, sorry. Any cheap hotels close by? The Daks coming along so it might be a good rest for me. I'm planning on doing a supermoto race on the 27th so I have to see how the funds are up to that point also.

aside from this hotel:

I dont know of any others around. i'm sure you might come up with more if you get on travelocity and do a search of the area.

[Kc_Rage_49]

You're looking for a hotel for the moto race right? Because I wouldn't be looking at getting one just for a quick lunch meet...

[moore_716]

No after I race I'll only have to drive about 35 min. home. I figured I'd bring the old lady and just make a day and night of it.
Mike

unless you change it to LEGS in Ypsi. Then I'll come alone. hehehehehe

[Cougar03]

I'm up in Traverse City, so I think I'm out :rant:

[DetroitGTX]

thats not that far... YellowKota (josh) is in muskegon. He's a crazy sob though... :banana2:

[HemiDak]

I'm probably a 2 1/2 hour drive, where as Traverse City would be quite a bit farther. But, I'm no stranger to long trips for a meet at Hooters or B-dubs. :biggthump

[DetroitGTX]

yeah but whats another 1-2 hours eh? lol

[Kbabiasz06]

Damn, Ill be up north of lapeer that weekend. And im sure not dring all the way back down. Sounds like a good idea though

[HemiDak]

Someone should post this on DTW and DodgeTalk, I'm sure we'll get some more people to show.

[Cougar03]

Traverse City is closer to 5 hours :cussing:

[Kc_Rage_49]

Traverse City is closer to 5 hours :cussing:

If it takes you 5 hours to get to TC... you need to drive faster... I get there in 4 from Canton, MI which is southwest of Detroit. Hell, I made it to Manistee in 3.5 just this past weekend.

haha, i'm trying to avoid a second speeding ticket...

[Kc_Rage_49]

These past few weeks I've been avoiding going to B-dubs because I know I'll be up there next weekend...

[Kc_Rage_49]

Heres a map and driving directions are located on this page if anyone still needs help... if you're coming from the South, hit 75 and take it to M24 and go north until you hit Lake Orion...
