As we were kicking around in the feeler thread we are talking about a August 1-5, 2018 Drummond Island Run. Depending on how many jeeps we have, we may break it up into a couple of groups and tackle different locations based on what everyone wants to experience. I would like to limit this run to 15-20 jeeps so that way we can cover more ground. We of course will be tackling most of the state trails which alone can fill three days. The other options are Turtle Ridge, which I hope to spend one of the days at, fossil beach, which is a cool destination that we could do in an afternoon. The plan would be to arrive on Wednesday the 1st in the afternoon on the island, but coming in on Thursday or Friday is fine to if you can make it up on Wednesday. We could all meet up mid drive and do the second half of the trip up as a group and convoy across the bridge and ferry. My group will be staying at a cabin at the Drummond Island Resort (their information is listed below). The resort is right at one of the trail heads (it is close to Turtle Ridge) and will be our launching point for the days runs. Its a great place to stay and is pretty reasonable. There are places you can camp as well if you choose. We can develop a trail schedule as we get closer to the trip once we know how many jeeps we will have and what everyone would like to tackle. We will be on our own for food, so bring what you need. There are a couple of restaurants there on the island for Breakfast and Dinners. Lunches will be on the trail so pack food. This is going to be a family event. I will have my son with me who's been up there with me for two seasons. My nephews will also be coming up with my brother-in-law and his JKUR. Here's a quick video of last years run. It will give you an idea of what to expect. And yes, you can bypass the deep water holes.....
