You have 12 hours 57 mins to register if you want to be included in the M&R giveaway.


I am going to put all the truck numbers in RANDOM.ORG - True Random Number Service and it will pull the winning Truck # to get the M&R foglight kit. Since they don't account for 00 Worldtour will be added on to the last number.

Im just gonna throw this out there.

You guys worry about some of the craziest shit!! Its not like the whole UP is 10 people. It is all under control. Every decent town has multiple gas stations. Harris/Powers, Ispeming, Houghton, etc.

There will be no gas issues.

And you thought I was the worry wart... Geez..

Lets hope they have enough doughnuts..

Have the estimated miles been calculated for each day yet? I'm just curious what distance we'll be covering each day... the "planner" inside of me is itching to see some stats!

The first stop after the Casino is Ispeming. They have like 4-5 gas stations.

Then Houghton about 5 gas stations not including Hancock.

Those are the major fill up locations

Thats not even including the smaller places near various parts of the route, I might add..

Sorry Greg, NO doughnuts

Just Nissua and Pasties.

Ok we might be able to find you doughnuts, but with this bunch I'd stay away from anything glazed.

The problem is if there are 1k snowmobiles waiting to get fuel you might be waiting for 4 or 5 hours in the smaller places. Ive been in Grand Marais and waited for 2 hours to get fuel and right after I filled up they were out of fuel till the next day now there is only one place for fuel in GM but you get the point. If its a the first great snow of the season be prepared...

The Munising/GM area is a whole different story than the rest of the UP. Theres a reason we arn't going that way.
