RAP TOUR 2020


MotorCity

Recommended Posts

Just completed the rap tour for my first time in 25 years of riding. What an experience and lessons learned. Here are some pics and places we stayed of our trip

DAY 1

Stayed at Casewell Motel in Sunbridge this place is a dirty hole and scam if said better, i have seen hunt camps in better condition, and the lady who runs could care a less about there customers very sad. My wife actually slept in her riding gear as there stained box springs and mattresses. She made it sound like they were sold out except for the last 4 lake front cottages. when we arrived we were told by workers that the lodge rooms were way worse, and basically we were the only people there. We had booked our last night there as well but cancelled once we saw how bad it was and she kept out deposits. Approx 120 miles20200227_124947_resized.thumb.jpg.a0849dc2aa0e233a76cf05c059ff83bb.jpg

Great report! Sorry that your first night sucked. I'm pretty sure it doesn't have a great rating on my database.

Thanks for the report and great pics. Those are real teaser shots of the tree inspections that seem to have taken place. Are you waiting for the culprit to explain his/her self?

Nothing noted in Sledders Database.

There’s been complaints for awhile now. Use to be go to place for food and accomdations. Crows nest in restoule went thru a few transformations too and is finally back up to where it was in 1990’s when Hal and Suszie ran place.

Been to both places.  Wouldn’t want to be in hospitality business these days, especially older places that are in long term decline.  Fortunately TripAdvisor, Google and similar sites give the potential customer a much better insight as what to expect and govern themselves accordingly.

 

Surely not a great first day on a RAP Tour, especially when the wife is with you.  I would have liked to have been a fly on the wall that night!

Yeah tough business for sure. Not much in shoulder seasons and summer and winters are fairly short too. Real tough go no doubt. My grandfather knew Hal well at crows nest and I would ride often with his son all over place, when I was younger. We had a blast on area trails.

I just checked. I have no idea why it hasn't got a NR rating. I know there have been negative reports in the past. I will be contacting Corey to update the listing today.
