chain o'lakes campground is supposedly 7 miles from torch, which isnt bad at all. and then theres whitewater township park (VERY nice campground) on elk lake that isnt all that far either. thats where we usually stay when we go to torch. i think the whole issue with the cops in 12 is what killed the following turn outs. from what i hear, even spectators had our backs on that and they shouldnt be much of a problem anymore (fingers crossed).

thanks for sharing the info, I think chain o lakes is camper only too but I could be mistaking. Yea 12 they harassed us pretty good, but only one ticket was given. 13 they left us alone, this year we will see. I didn't apply for a permit this year, after discussing with DNR previous years we really only need it if we our buoying off a section or have enough participants that we are impeding traffic. I also really haven't advertised or put much work into this years ride without the campground. Just a show up and ride deal. I am hoping the campground will have all their renovations done by next year and maybe they will make an exception for us and allow tents (they said they didnt mind us there).

Well most of the people that said they were coming seemed to have bailed, so turnout was minimal, but it didn't hurt my feelings! We had a great time with great friends. The cops were awesome, and actually welcomed us to the lake!

Most pics are on the cameras, only got a few on my cell. Should have a lot of good stuff for a cool video though.
