Default IN/MI State Line JK's Where are ya??

Seems like the Great Lakers meet and greets are way up north. How about one for us lower jeepers closer to the state lines? Now that the lake effect machine has blessed us with some snow to play in and get out, anyone got any interest in a suds, grubs, and meet??? Post up some pics of your rigs too so everyone can see what's around

Portage, MI here (just south of Kalamazoo). About a half hour north of the state line.

The Bundy Hill trip on Jan. 14th is in the lower part of Michigan. About a half hour from Ohio and Northeast Indiana borders.

I'm from schererville and I know there are a bunch of other active guys in nwi. I've thought about setting up a sudsngrub at Quaker steak and lube in Portage, IN but wasn't sure if there would be any interest because it's a bit of a drive for the Chicago guys. If that's something you guys are interested in I'll make a thread! We're also doing a Sudsngrub later this month in Orland Park, IL if anyone's interested. It's on the far south side of the city and right off of I80.

Redamacks in New Buffalo,MI would also make for a good sudsngrub when it re opens in the spring.

We keep our boat in new buffalo for the summer at the marina right around the corner from redimacks. Casey's on water is another great watering hole with great food along with the salty dog. Both are open year round and would most likely love to have a bunch of us show up and boost their dead sales in the off season!!!

Any chance you mean the Stray Dog? I've driven past it a bunch of times and have always wanted to check it out. If more than a couple guys post up saying they're interested I'll start a thread for a February Suds N Grub there.

I also wouldn't mind doing one in Kalamazoo or Holland for any Southwest Michiganders. Mainly because I'm a microbrew fiend and Kalamazoo is the home to Bells Brewery and Holland is the home to New Holland Brewery.

Sorry it is the stray dog! & Casey's is a couple place down across the street. Good food and drinks at both and I bet plenty of parking being it off season! Casey's got Bells in the fridge there too!!

I am in Coldwater, Mi. I would be down for a meet and greet, suds and grubs or whatever.
