Hey HUMMER Islanders, Please post up your pix and videos here from our S.H.I.T. 2011 extravaganza.


I will try to post up a recap of the days trail runs and extra carricular activities when I get back home and download everything, unpack the rig and play with the big dummy for a while.

 

I will chime in for this one! I had an absolutely AMAZING time on this trip. It's too bad not more people could have showed up for it. I wish I could have gotten a lot more for pictures but I did manage to get a few. Without further ado, here we go!!!

Round Trip:



1,400 Miles + $600 for gas = Best Trip EVER!!!






Crew Cab Dually with Duratracs. (Tractor Pull Truck)



Route 75N with the bridge just coming into the view.









I know everyone has a picture like this but now I have my very own.





Now for some of the fun stuff!

 

 

I'm so pissed off right now.....

Glad you had fun Jesse.... I'm glad you didn't rub it in.... actually nobody rubbed it in that I couldn't.... except MU.... but he was gentle....

More pics..... MORE PICS NOW I SAY!!!!!!

 

Where is CBPhoto?







You know what this is...



The Meadow



A dragonfly decided to keep my fathers glasses warm while we stopped for some DELICIOUS "Heart Meat"

 

Adam



Cris



Mark and "Tough Chick" Who really is and I love it!



But then we had to go home. Derrick and I did manage to get a few last minute pictures while we waited for the ferry.







It crossed right in front of us while we were on the ferry. It was AWESOME because I never saw a ship that big before.







HIROLA



So that concludes my pictures for the trip. I would also like to thank everyone who made this a very unforgettable trip for Dylan, my father and I. I look forward to next year when we can do it all again.

 

I also chose to leave a lot of it out just because everyone should have been there. I don't want to expose all of the greatness the island has to offer. You will just have to see the rest for yourself.

 

Great Pix Jesse! Not EVERYONE takes the Drummond Island Exit 359 picture and now you have your very own! YEAH, sometimes the ferry Captian gets so close to a freighter that you get a little nervous.

It is ALWAYS a pleasure to Wheel and Hang with You, Dad and Dylan! Say HI to them from Tough Chick and MU!

I'm working on my pix now, they will be up soon. Videos to follow tomorrow!

 

I'm just going to post up pix, tell ya the facts of the trip and let everybody else tell ya bout their trip.
I like to hear what others think/say about my favorite place on planet earth to wheel and play!

I would like to Thank EVERYONE that attended the Summer HUMMER Island Tour for making it an unforgettable trip for Me.
Cris (CBphoto), Steven, Nick, RJ, John (Chastan), Laura ("L"), Amanda, Derreck (Hirola), Jesse (Recovery21), Don (Dad), Dylan, Will (datapimp), Rebecca, Candi (Calamatygirl), Kevin (USMC06H3), Adam (ADAMEKH3), Maggie, Heather (cookie lady) and of course my beautiful wife Millissa (Tough Chick)

I will be contacting the owners of The Lodge to see if we can repeat for S.H.I.T. 2012!!!!!

THANK YOU!

On to the PIX!!!!

Harrison, MI (stayed the night Wednesday @ CBs "off the grid cabin") THANKS CB! Left his place and hit the bank so I took some pix of the rigs all clean.









Next we headed to Pellston Regional Airport to pick up Candi (flew in from Arlington, Tx!!!) Log Cabin looking Airport







After Picking up Candi we headed up to the Mighty Mac (Mackinac Bridge). The Mackinac Bridge is currently the third longest suspension bridge in the world. The bridge opened to traffic on November 1, 1957.








Once across the Mighty Mac we anxiously awaited the arrival of this sign, which tells you you are only 40 miles from the ferry in De Tour Village



More to come.......

 

Upon entering De Tour Village we met up with Kevin @ the De Tour Village Inn (the cheeseburger bar as he calls it). Had a brew and a cheeseburger and waited for the next ferry.



Loaded onto the ferry headed for Drummond Island



Off the ferry and on to The Lodge. Once there everyone got settled in their rooms, we made some "adult beverages" at the bar and we sat down to enjoy the view.





Ahhh, sunset at The Lodge. You can't capture the true colors on digital cameras.





Thursday night we had a bonfire and passed out the S.H.I.T. 2011 Shirts!



Friday AM, we all had breakfast provided by my wife and I. Aired Down, pulled fuse "27", lined up and hit the short trek to the trails.







More to come........
