august dune trip

[370banshee]

As some of you may know E2S is planning a big trip to SILVER LAKE SAND DUNES august 23-26.. If anyone is interested in going.. Feel free to PM either myself or smkmupbanshee for details. I’ll post here any needed information you may need to get to the dunes.. Where we’ll be staying, prices, and destination address for anyone wanting to mapquest the directions.. We will be staying at Val Du Lakes campground.. It’s about 5 miles from the dunes.. The showers are HOT and the management is nice. Last time we were there we had no problem partying until early morning… there will be beer.. Actually lots of beer, beerpong tables, jager bombs, bench racing, and BSing all evening.. … we are going to sell raffle tickets for some prizes donated by E2S, Gotcha Bitch Racing, Motosynthetics, Flotek performance and we are working on a few more companies.. Any and all proceeds form these raffles will go toward expanding E2S products for the members (shirts, stickers, and hopefully ball caps) and improving the site… There will also be a beer pong tournament if enough people want to get in on it.. $5 buy in per team winner takes half. Other half goes toward E2S products and expansion
There will be probably 2 pong tables.. This is a great chance to meet other people from the site including a good portion of the people that keep this site running day to day…. Smkmup and myself will be there… Ok now for the specifics

DUNE NECESSITIES

All quads need an ORV sticker

A daily pass or annual state park sticker

Your truck need a daily pass or annual pass as well..

If you have a 4x4 truck and want to take it in the dunes… it will need the
ORV sticker as well

Any vehicle entering the dunes needs a flag

Quads/bikes/trikes need a spark arrestor (available at the dunes)

All riders must have helmet and goggles

(see money stuff section below for prices)

THE MONEY STUFF

For the camping there is a $20 deposit per site that is returned when you leave as long as you pick up your garbage and don’t trash the site

Camping is $15 per night per person..


ORV stickers are $16.25 and are available either online or at the park..

Yearly passes (also called MVP’s) are $29 if bought online or $32 at the park
You don’t need an MVP you can just buy daily passes for $8 a day… 4 days is more than an online MVP you do the math..
(see online sticker purchase section)

Flags are available at numerous places around silver lake they are $20-$22
(I’ll offer my same deal as last year. At the end of the weekend if you don’t want your flag anymore I’ll buy it for $15)

Spark arrestors are available at the dunes. They are cobra sparkie brand and range in size from 2”-3” round (maybe bigger even) and oval for FMF style silencers.. Sparkies are $72 each

Gas is available right at the park gate.. Anything from 92 octane pump gas to alky and everything in between.

There is also a parts store there that carries a pretty good array of parts






Online sticker purchase

Ok I searched around and found places to buy your ORV and MVP stickers ahead of time and they are mailed to your house within 7 days.. For some reason they have to be purchased form 2 different sites but.. Here we go I’ll walk you through both sites and how to get where you need to be to get what you are looking for…

MVP STICKERS

(remember you need an MVP on any vehicle in the dunes or parking lot) (not including trailers)

Here the link


http://mi-mall.michigan.gov/webapp/w...1&orderId=null

You’ll notice that it brings you to a screen with a yellow and blue sticker. If you don’t live in Michigan you need the yellow nonresident sticker (MI residents buy blue of course)

Click the yellow sticker

Then click “add to shopping cart”
Then add how many you need in the quantity section..

Click checkout and fill out the needed information..





ORV STICKER

Here is the link

https://www.mdnr-elicense.com/welcome.asp

Click “MYSELF” dot
Then click
“I CERTIFY” button

On the next page
Answer the 3 questions then go to the bottom of the page and click
“OBTAIN MDNR ID”

A pop up box will appear click
“OK”

Ok now you want the 2nd selection
“ORV preprinted”
click “BUY NOW”

Put in the quantity and click “CHECKOUT”
(you only need these stickers for anything that will enter the dunes.. Any thing staying in the parking lot doesn’t need an ORV sticker)

Then fill out the necessary information and your good.. don’t bother with the printer test.. Your stickers will be mailed to you..


I think I covered everything you need to know.. But.. If there is something you need to know feel free to PM me..
