Silver Lake Sand Dunes
« on: June 18, 2012, 09:26:06 PM »
My old club in Michigan had their annual Father's Day run at Silver Lake this past weekend. Thought I would post up some pics of their weekend. The dunes are always a good time. They did a trail ride on Friday and hit the dunes on Saturday and Sunday.

I know, looks like the south west or something.  And it looks like a lot of fun!

John from CheapThrills Offroad just posted a few videos from the day as well. I used to be part of that club also and the two clubs have done this combined trip on Father's Day weekend for 7 or 8 years now. Here is the vid of a race from boundary to boundary across the dunes.

Owning a CJ is for manly men, they allows you to do manly stuff like auto mechanics and welding and drinking beer. Manly men own CJs. Manly men do not drive hummers, they receive them.

Yes, with a 4cyl you'd need really tall gears to climb some of those hills in the soft sand. The red TJ with the Subaru cowl on the hood is sporting a Chevy fuel injected 5.3L chevy out of a newer Chevy truck.
