Re: Silver Lake Sand Dunes, MI (PICS)

Thanks jojotonka for great post! Brings back great summer memories!

Here are a couple more pictures I have from this past summer. The weekend we went, we only saw one blazer pictured below. The kids love it as much as I do.

You can also count me in to give a hand if there is a blazer get together!
(not sure if mine will be finished by then)

Trying to get together and drive our blazers over the chevyman's place.

We're both still building but j's way ahead of me, we're talking about shooting for the 'end' of summer.

My .02 for the crowd thing would be less traffic.
The Least from the East, maybe some PU guys want to tag along?

Re: Silver Lake Sand Dunes, MI (PICS)

Between this and the 4 wheel and off road jamboree in Indy I better get my arse in gear on mamas Blazer. I am definitely up for the Labor day or any weekend around that time. Might even be able to bring a few more of our style of trucks with me.

Re: Silver Lake Sand Dunes, MI (PICS)

Lets just say that his fingers got typing a little faster than they should have and he pi$$ed off the wrong people. Things started out joking around and then it kind of went south from there. I've stayed in contact with him though.

He was only suspended for two weeks, is he still pissed enough not to jump back in?

I saw the thread that whacked him, interesting ...

I guess after that it got even uglier, although I was only told about it, and at that point he sealed his fate. Don't know the details.

I'm not exactly sure what happened in the end, but I heard the reason he got booted wasn't actually in one of the threads.

Yes it is a sweet ride for sure. I met him through this board and he is a nice guy, but sometimes some of us get carried away and $h!t happens. Hopefully he will be joining us here again someday.
