MI: West/NW Drives?

[Big_DeWeY]

Do any good roads exist in good ole West Michigan? I just got here from NC and i miss the "tail" only being a few hours away.

that depends on what part of western michigan your at. If your in the northern lower peninusla, then do a search for M119. If your farther south, I cant help you. If your in the U.P. I cant help you... But from TC to Cross village, I can help ya, lol.

those are some pics I took last time I was up there. It's a long drive from GR, but (to me at least) would be worth it. I posted some info on it in this thread...

MI: highway M119

To me, it's the only road...

I'll post my standard teaser pic.

DOOOOOOOD!!!! im gonna be there as soon as i get the clutch broke in. how is the traffic situation? im all about keeping it sane but i dont wanna be stuck behind granny smith and her ford LTD. im so excited now. thank you you have givven me hope!

Traffic sucks due to the sole reason that your proabably going about twice as fast as everyone else, so you will catch someone. Usually they'll let you pass after a while though. Oncoming traffic is a little different because you have to slow down (remember, it's only about a lane and a half wide) but still not too bad. I recommend going just after dark because then you can see the oncoming traffic's lights, but watch out for deer. I havent seen any, but they are out there.

I was planning on going up there today, but bent a tie rod last night (when turning my car around, understeer -> curb -> hit -> mechanic's till monday).

awsome guy. i cant wait to get up there and check out that road. some of the guys down here are talking about having a suby style get together if anyone is down? maybe we could all roll together.

Actually, If your coming up for Sno*Drift (the rally) I'm trying to get together a fun run. The rally is in atlanta michigan, which is about an hour away from here.

I go to school at Calvin. I'd probably wanna meet near GR. After finals I'll be in Tibet until the end of January, but after that I'll be around til may.

There is a nice area over by GrandVille. It is swooping, not much traffic, and there is a one way drive through the woods that is one lane. It is over by the parks where wilson/28th are. The negatives: after a while on the road it gets bumpy, and SLOW down for the bump sign. My first time I jumped the STi there. Also, there are alot of parks in the area so cops are driving around, and there is a looong strech of 25mph between parks and it is h3ll to drive down within the speed limit.
