Oooo! I always wanted to do that!!! I didn't know you could go on the island! You lucky guys! I can't believe that open water! I snowmobiled when I was in my 20's. We had a cottage at Houghton Lake so we went up every weekend for 5 yrs. Enjoying your videos!! I'm 68 now.. I have arthritis in my knees. I think I got it from snowmobiling cause my knees were always freezing. I'm subscribing!

Glad you had enough time to talk about the cover...any updates about that?

Good video, but you wouldn't catch me dead on a lake on a sled. The idea of the ice breaking is terrifying...100 ft or more of cold dark water to the bottom.... I've been to the island probably half a dozen times over the years, I'm a pilot, so we always flew in.

So how many miles to the island,really cool video guys, when did you ride this.

@MichiganOutlaws

2 жыл бұрын

Thanks for watching! We rode this last weekend, pretty sure it’s about 4-5 miles to the island

Vehicles are not allowed on the island except sleds in winter and they do have a airport in the middle of the island. In the summer your " trail" is a paved road all around the island. I've even seen some fools actually make it across from Mackinac city across the open channel the coast guard keeps for freighters in the winter. I've also seen it where the tree line was just hours from completely melting

My xp 800 would heat up real fast too, with no scratches on hard pack couldn’t go far lol

You just replied to a local! To further clarify. We dont like it advertised. Its primary purpose was/is for locals to access the mainland when needed & because we see anuf of our own die witch is why if you ask those with knowledgege your usual response will be "its never safe" . Its why you never see videos like yours or actual dvds and such produced by us. Please understand i dont say these things as hate tords your channel. Its just the safty issue & the losses of our own people that keep us from advertising it ourselves. Yrust me outside of that aspect of it we love the business.
