Re: Tip Up Town ???
 

Probably not in the cards this year. We have tickets to see Ron White at DeVoss on the 15th.

Re: Tip Up Town ???
 

who's Ron White??

Re: Tip Up Town ???
 

Ever seen Blue Collar Comedy on the comedy channel? Or rent Blue Collar Comedy Tour on DVD. Or, get the Ron White DVD called "They call me Tatar Salad" at your local video rental place. WAY funny redneck humor :drink: :drink:

Re: Tip Up Town ???
 

I think that should go over well in Michigan. I hear there are lots of rednecks in Michigan, lol! :eek: :eek:

Re: Tip Up Town ???
 

Not enough good old boys around here, That's what our problem is. :(

Re: Tip Up Town ???
 

I'll probably be up there both weekends. Looks like about 8" of ice on the lake right now but the temps are pretty warm today and tomorrow. Hopefully it cools back down and then dumps a bit of snow towards the 13th

Re: Tip Up Town ???
 

55 and partly sunny today. Bad for ice and snow. :( NK

Re: Tip Up Town ???
 

Well .... we are keeping our fingers crossed and heading up Thursday afternoon ...

Whats it lookin like weather wise ????

I was at my cabin 20 miles south of houghton lake 2 days ago and there was 6-8 i9nches of fresh snow that fell thurs night but no base on the trails,tried riding but kicking up ALOT of dirt and rocks,Smitty

Re: Tip Up Town ???
 

were heading up Friday am - does anyone know if the ice conditons are good? i.e safe & hard packed for speed runs?? :eek:

Re: Tip Up Town ???
 

I heard higgins isn't completely frozen but houghton lake is more like a pond,it usually freezes except along the southwestern edge and that will be marked on all the maps at every restaurant and snowmobile dealer,Smitty

Re: Tip Up Town ???
 

I hope you guys get the snow you need. LEOPJM is leaving this morning. It's 63 degrees here right now. Good luck and keep the shiny side up. :drink: :drink:
