The date has been set for the third annual Pinckney Recreation Area / Hell Michigan chain of lakes swim in southeast Michigan north of Ann Arbor. Saturday, July 20th we meet to park at the Richardson farm in Dexter and drive up to the Zukey Lake Tavern for meet & greet and lunch at around 1:00 pm.
After lunch we splash in at the marina on Zukey and start down the chain of 7 lakes linked by the Huron river. This trip always turns heads as the boat traffic up and down the chain is invaded by the floating cars. We have had perfect weather every year. First leg is about 45 minutes of action packed twists & turns and even some driving on the river bed if water is a bit low. Lots of great wild scenery and nice lake and river front homes.
First stop is Dominic & Sue's place of Dunleavy lake where a cool shady lawn awaits as we climb out on the private ramp. As the cars cool down we have another chance to talk cars and enjoy the lake with some refreshments or a quick swim, then off again down the chain. A few more lakes and under the bridge we end up at the largest lake at the bottom of the chain called Portage lake where parking places in the water and hospitality awaits at the home of the son of the former AD of Michigan football.
This trip is a cruise which usually takes all afternoon, so lots of water time with 3 planned opportunities for breaks. Very casual and fun. Planned and presented by Mark Amsdill & Mark Richardson of Dexter, Mi. Overnight is OK with lots of room with privacy, electricity & water at the barn.
