Sweet! I live next to Onekama (between manistee and frankfort)
Yea, I rode my dirtbike around herring lake this summer on one of my two tracking/seasonal road rides. I started at my house and then rode along lake michigan, then once I hit arcadia, I swung out to the east into the hills, and then down to the lake.
I put onekama in the map thing but it mapped me going through ludington and onto 31, so i punched in kaleva to show the way I actually go(starting on 10).
Give me a holla when you get up this way again!
Wow....small world comes to mind. I remember EVERY damn time I go through Onekama I have trouble with the name....I feel like an idiot....my pops laughs at me every time. I always say it like this ....OOOO-KNEEEE-COMMA! I know how to really say it....but it just never comes out right:banghead:
Anywho....I'll pm you next time I come up there...doubt it will be until next summer tho...too frickin cold.
Me and my friend will probably be leaving on the 8th at around 7:00 p.m it will take 15hours to drive so we will be getting into detroit around 11:00 a.m on the 9th so that will give us enough time to stop and rest, eat, piss, etc...

Hmmm... Mapquest has me going 632 miles, Yahoo has me going 671 miles, through Canada along the way. 40 extra miles *plus* border stops? That's just silly.
McBain had this to say Wow....small world comes to mind. I remember EVERY damn time I go through Onekama I have trouble with the name....I feel like an idiot....my pops laughs at me every time.

Its actually quite funny when all of the tourists roll through in the summer because you'll be at the gas station and they'll ask the cashier what the name of the town is...then they of course try to say it for the first time
The easiest way to remember is 1, (one commma) and you can buy a shirt at the gas station with "1," on the front so you'll never forget how to say it.
So if anyone ever comes through onekama, here is the way to pronounce it so you don't sound like a noob...
onekama= o-neck-comma
But it is frickin cold right now...actually there is a little snow on the ground, which reminds me I should bring in some more wood soon...gotta keep warm
