This is Michigan Jeeps’ annual fall color trail ride. This year we will be in the Huron Manistee National Forest near Glennie, Michigan. The trail ride starts at 10:00 a.m. on Saturday.
The meeting location is in a clearing near the south east corner of Bissonette Road and M65, which is just north of Five Channels Dam on the Ausable River. The two track that runs through the clearing is Fawn Road and can easily be seen from Bissonette Road. Here are the GPS coordinates: Dropped pin

Stock Jeeps should not have any issues and there is always someone available to help if needed. You need solid tow points front and rear, and your own recovery gear (tow strap, NO CHAINS, gloves, boots, etc).

I recommend both ORV stickers to avoid any confusion regarding the subject.
Bring food, drinks and snacks for lunch on the trail. Trail rides usually go from 10:00 a.m. until late afternoon or early evening depending on how we feel. Same for night rides, depends on the mood. After the trail ride we relax around a campfire.
Please arrive with a full tank of gas and in plenty of time to air down and be ready to leave at 10:00 a.m.
The number of Jeeps that show up determines the number of groups. You can disperse camp in the national forest, get a hotel, or rent a cabin. Hale or Mio isn’t that far. I recommend Alcona Canoe or Alcona County Park for cabins.
