Exspecially directions and links! SWRules snowmutt 02-17-2008, 09:26 AM Your best bet would be north of hougton/higgins lk due to the snowbelt . the further northwest from grayling you go the better the snow and trails get . Gaylord is the central hub for the lower and does get busy so be carfull when riding in the area. mutt SLeDHeaDDude800 02-17-2008, 07:47 PM Personally I'd stay in Mancelona, Michigan Always twice as much POW there! michahicks 02-17-2008, 08:41 PM If you want to get a central location, the motels with an Old 27 south mailing address will put you pretty much smack in the middle. There are several, and generallly you can ride in any direction from them - you aren't stuck in a corner or on one end or the other. Gas and food within 15 minutes of most any of them. All are directly across the street from the trail. 73Lifeliner 02-18-2008, 01:04 PM Ray's Retreat is right on the trail and right between Gaylord and Grayling.
