Vannin' Home Forums General Discussion Readers Rides My 1997 Express

Dave! That is very cool! Great trip! Great Pics!

We were in Mackinaw City in May!! I wish we had gone on up into the UP!!
Camped at the TeePee CG!!!


And we ate..... guess where!!!



Damn good Chili Dogs.

We were just up the road at Mill Creek.

The dog place was good. Damn busy too.

You have a great state to explore. It was our first time in Michigan.
We went up US31 on the west side and it was a very nice ride!


I wish we could have stayed longer.

I'm not a native. So I was surprised at the diversity of this state...from huge sand dunes to the west, great lakes, border crossings to Canada, an upper peninsula, the bridge, light houses, snowmobiling, skiing, inland lakes everywhere, Detroit and tons of history...it's a pretty cool place to be. Proud to call it my adopted home.

Freaking awesome trip and great pics. Thanks for sharing man.

awesome pics. I am originally from Southeast Michigan. People can never understand the Beauty of Pure Michigan.

Finally got all caught up. Granted i did start fresh from page one earlier this evening. Great looking van. Where did you get the retrofitted headunit? I would def like to find something like that for my Astro.

Thanks guys. Glad you enjoyed it.

Started a new job...very excited about it. I'm actively hunting for a new daily driver, which The Express has devolved into (nothing wrong with it as a daily...I enjoy driving it, but I'm wearing it out). Hope to have something in the next few months, and have her indoors for the winter. Then I can start to address a mounting list of issues she has.

This weekend, LOF, and inspect the RF tire for possible replacement (an crazy driver chased my butt off road over a curb a year or so back, and I suspect it has a broken belt).

She's got more work to do before winter though. At least one more trip south towing, and a trip in September towing.

OutlawZ, the radio came from ebay...I "believe" it came from this seller, but don't make me swear to it.

Thanks for the info! He has a couple different options i am seriously going to consider. It will be a great way to add the ability to listen to an ipod or iphone to my Astro!
