I spent several holiday weekends up there racing my CR500 up the hill. Eventually, fights, people getting hurt, and ambulances stuck in the sand lead to the DNR not allowing alcohol and then it quieted right down. Nowadays, it seems this type of activity has been replaced by the mud bog here in MI.

Here's a pic of the bottom of the hill mid-day on a holiday weekend with the vantage point of me standing on top of my suburban.

There's a square in there somewhere which I'm sure is why I took the picture

Oh, and no sport stripe on the Burby hood. It either didn't have a hood or it was bent when I got it so was lucky to find one that at least complimented it from a junkyard back when you could find that sort of stuff. Drug the suburban out of a backyard without and engine for $300. It lost it's roof later in life.
Looks like quite a place! I see a number of good reasons to be there. Vehicular and otherwise...
