I live on a gravel (mud) road. I hope to be on Hines, depending on when this road dries up.
Looking forward to tomorrow.

parked under nice shade tree | | | | | Joined: Aug 2018 Posts: 206 Moderator, Great Lakes Bolters | | Moderator, Great Lakes Bolters Joined: Aug 2018 Posts: 206 | I have been thinking about checking out the Tuesday Culvers Lake Orion cruise, but haven't made it there yet. Now knowing there are so many trucks that show up, I will definitely check it out. (especially looking forward to seeing the Cameos if they show up again) | | | | | Joined: Aug 2018 Posts: 206 Moderator, Great Lakes Bolters | | Moderator, Great Lakes Bolters Joined: Aug 2018 Posts: 206 | I attended the Hines Cruise as well (just as a spectator) I think this is a great event! Vehicles parked to checked out, but also cruising around to hear the engines rumble. Saw a few 54' Chevy trucks. | | | | | Joined: Feb 2011 Posts: 583 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Feb 2011 Posts: 583 | I cruised it with my 39. Had a lot of fun. I think it is better than the Woodward Dream Cruise. Definitely more relaxing.

Woodward is amazing in it's own right, but the great thing about Hines is that it is closed to through traffic. I am hoping to have my 54' Chevy truck ready for next year's cruise.

I have never been, and just curious what kind of show it is, and what the turn out was?
--Tom | | | | | Joined: Feb 2011 Posts: 583 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Feb 2011 Posts: 583 | I went, first time. There were a lot of vendors and a huge crowd. I did not see anything there I couldn't live without. $5 just to park and $10 to get in. At least it was something to do that day. I've been to the Jackson, Kalamazoo, Monroe and Fowlerville events. Those I enjoyed.

I have been to the Jackson, Monroe, and Fowlerville meets before, but never to Kalamazoo....might have to check it out...

It is a great show/cruise with tons of vehicles on display/cruisin. Hope to see some other Bolters there. Let me know if anyone is going. http://cruisinhines.com/--Tom | | | | | Joined: Feb 2011 Posts: 583 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Feb 2011 Posts: 583 | I'll be going to the Hines Cruise, weather permitting. Have been to 3 or 4 Hines Cruises in the past. GREAT TIME!!!! I'd rather cruise Hines than go to the Woodward Dream Cruise. I've attended the Woodward Dream Cruise for the past 15 years, not so this year. Out of every 10 vehicles cruising Woodward, 9 of them will be spectators in modern vehicles. The only vehicles allowed at the Hines Cruise are the ones that are 25 years or older and you don't have to pay to park. I'll be there with my 39 Chevy Stake Truck, green with black fenders.
