The trip will explore the scenic fall beauty along the northern U.P. coastline viewing over a dozen lighhouses, Whitefish Point (Lighthouse and Museum) Tahquamenon Falls, Pictured Rocks, Copper Harbor (which includes Brockway Mt) as well as Escanaba in da moonlight

The dates for this spectacular are a meet and greet dinner at BJ's Restaurant, 990 N Center Ave, Gaylord, MI on Fri Sept 24th at 6:00PM, ending with a goodbye lunch at Gobbler's Restaurant, 900 S Otsego Ave, Gaylord, Michigan at noon on Tuesday, September 28th.

BTW, we've scheduled the overnight stops to allow those who cannot do the entire trip to either join or leave us a their convenience. Friday night of course will be in Gaylord, Saturday night in Paradise, Sunday night in Houghton, Monday night in Escanaba, and the final stop will be back in Gaylord for lunch on Tuesday.

Please let us know (via posting on this thread) if you are planning on joining us on this trip.

The hotels where we will be staying are listed below and at the time of this update have enough rooms to accomodate all of us but book your room as soon as possible.

Bring warm clothes, just in case.....

The extended weather forcast is looking good so far!

[HarleyGuy]

Yes Sir!!!!!

It looks like we'll have daytime temps in the high 50's and low 60's for this trip with some chance for showers on a couple of the days.

This will be "prime time" for the colors to be changing so let's hope Mother Nature is on schedule.

If there's anyone who has NOT signed up for this run and would like to go with us, it's not too late.

See ya'll soon.

OK folks, it's just about "showtime" and I may have some good news, and I may have some bad news
As you know, weather forecasts for Michigan (especially the U.P.) can change very quickly so take the following as speculation.....not fact...OK?

The bad news: It looks like Friday will be a warm, wet day, and a VERY WINDY day.

The good news: At this time it looks as though we will have some very nice FALL weather for Saturday, Sunday, and most of Monday.

More bad news: Tuesday looks like another wet day and a little cooler.

If we have three good days, and especially a clear day when crossing the "Mighty Mac" I guess we should be thankful.

Everyone drive safely and we'll see ya'll for dinner.
