I would like a 450r, but Im not ruling out a z400 (cause there cheaper). i want to spend around $3,000 but Im not getting one till i start working and the foot is all healed and ready to go.

So is anyone still interested in making a trip to some sand dunes this summer? silver lake or little sahara?

-------------------------
2004 Arctic Cat DVX400

Just an FYI, since I'm getting spring fever here... I went to Tri-County and walked down the straightaway and into the pit. There are a few drifts probably a foot deep at the most down the main stretch. However, the pit itself looks very ridable. We only have maybe a few inches of snow down in the pit, and the top part of the hills is bare. I think virtually any adult quad could navigate at least through the pits at this time. The big sand hill is probably a go too.

Depending on if the weather warms up to near 40 on Sunday, I might head out that way with the quad.

That sounds like fun, I'd be interested. I've never ridden in WI before. Hopefully I can keep up.

Thanks. Spider lake used to be a lot more fun before they started shutting down trails, gravel pits, and camp sites. It's still a great place to ride though.

When are you going? We usually go in september when it starts to cool down a bit. I personally like silver lake better than little sahara. I like the controlled one way direction over the big dunes so you don't have to worry about head on collisions as much.

i Would like to go during the summer sometime. Isn't little sahara bigger than silver lake? i dont care which one i go to just as long as i get to ride some sand! to get to silver lake do you have to go around wis? or is there some type of ferry that goes from wis to michigan?

-------------------------
2004 Arctic Cat DVX400

Little Sahara is bigger, but like at Silver Lake we found certain areas that we liked and mostly rode those.

For Silver lake, you can take the car ferry from manitowac wi to ludington mi. We took it once, it does shave off some time and is a nice break, but I dont know if it's worth the cost. On the day that we went, the waves were abnormally high and the boat was really rocking. There were people puking all over, I had to lay on my back on the deck. We were supposed to take it back on the way home, but it was broke down on the wi side when we got there. It is nice because ludington is about 30 miles from silver lake.

The other route is down around lake mi and through chicago. There are a ton a toll booths though. We tried going north through the u.p., but it seemed to take a lot longer. I wasn't able to make it last year, my friends made it in record time at around 10 hours. They had perfect traffic through chicago.

St.Anthony is always a possibility zbutcher suggested that. idk the cost of stuff there for camping, food or gas but i think hes checking it out.

-------------------------

It all depends on what youre looking for. St Anthony isnt much further than Little Sahara,...maybe 2 hours longer, but quite a bit more space, and much, much steeper climbs. Its worth it to go further, the exerience will be better. It seems like LS is crowded, and accidents seem to be more likely. SA has lots of elbow room.
If youve never been to the sand, then Little Sah might be a good choice, because you really dont need sand tires to ride the whole thing. SA would really suck without sand tires. The camping at St A is much better, and so is the scenery. In the middle of summer, SA is much more enjoyable than the heat and humidity of OK.
