I took the blaster and my friend had his drz-400 up to Gladwin this weekend. We initially took the southern loop from the parking spot and it was pretty sandy and it was 80% whoops. So it was cool on the quad but the bike had some troubles.
We hit some really deep puddles and got pretty dirty. It was kind of crazy too because we were at the bottom of the loop and I checked my tank and it was looking pretty low, which was surprising because I left about 10 miles before with a fairly full tank. I decided to give the throttle a break and it seemed to last longer but 3/4 of the way back I ran out ... thank god for reserve! I made it back to the lot just in time.
After a bit of rain we took the northern loop which was about half as long, but about twice as fun. It was part of the MCCT so it was well packed and had lots of turns but minimal whoops ... I topped out the blaster going 45 down a road that connected two trails. Really a good time up there.
It for sure isn't my most favorite spot to go so far, but was a good day trip.
