Silver Lake Dunes Toyota Takeover

Anyone going to Silver Lake Dunes for the Toyota Takeover?

If anyone wants to convoy from SE WI or Eastern Iowa (not sure which I'll be leaving from) let me know!

 

@GQ7227 has been looking for events. I’m sure he’s in

 

there is SO MUCH SAND type stuff INSIDE MY TRUCKs FRAME RIGHT NOW its ABSURD

OP, eastern Iowa is close, like US-20?

 

My parents live in the QC and my place is in Waukesha, WI. Not sure where I'd be leaving from, but if you're interested I'm sure we could figure something out.

 

I put in for a vacation that week then had to cancel the destination still have the time off...

 

I know it's the Toyota Takeover, but I'd love to see your XJ get some airtime!

 

Man I couldn't imagine trying to drive that thing the 4 or 5 hours to silver lake. No AC, no sway bars, no kind of alignment. If I did manage to actually jump it, I'd probably loose a coil spring due to long arm suspension and no limit straps. And if that didn't happen landing would suck because I use my fenders as bumpstops!

Don't remind me of how shitty my baby is!

 

Might head up that way. Every time I’m there I’m the only Tacoma. It would be nice to see a few around for a change. Tired of drag racing Jeeps. Would love to go hit some of the trails north of Baldwin. Found some cool stuff last time we were out.

 

I'm down to go! I got the Dirty Taco out there Sunday for the first time. @JOHNNYPICKLES is right though, I think I was only one of three Yotas out there.

 

Looks like I'll be leaving from the Milwaukee area. If anyone is on this route or wants to meet up there, let me know!

 

Where is everyone planning on camping? Still trying to make sure I can make it before I book a camp ground but I imagine I'll have to do that soon.

 

I live close enough to the dunes that I will only be going for a day trip.

 

I just started looking into that. This is my first time going. Any recommendations?

 

Looks like I'll be staying at sandy shores campground. Hopefully its a good spot, i haven't been up there in about 10 years so I'm kinda excited to see how much it has grown over time.

We'll need to figure out a meet up spot And some other trails to hit.

 

I am going. Did Sandy Shores have sites still available? I am staying down in Muskegon. Meinert county park. There is sites still available. About the only thing I could find. Towing the pop up there. The trails in Baldwin are fun. Tin Cup Spring is good with a group. Miles of sand trails north of there. I did a route last month with some good water crossings. Check out the downloadable maps for ORV from the state of Michigan website. Meet in Baldwin early. Hit trails till mid afternoon. Haul to the dunes. Rock till sunset. That’s my plan.

 

When the wife booked it she said it was the last site they had.

 

I'll be up there some time Wednesday afternoon. Probably hit trails and the dunes Thursday.

Anyone know if you can still buy the orv pass at the entrance to the dunes?

 

Yes there is a little office at the staging area.

 

We made it! Temporary coop set up.
