Lost Trailer Ramp 5 foot aluminum from sunday nite, After we loaded up in St Ignace and loaded up to come back to Frederic. We were heading back to Frederic . We stopped for gas in Vanderbilt and saw that the ramp was missing on the Bearcat trailer that my riding partners were hauling with. Its a five foot aluminum ramp with white slide ramps on it. Hoping that maybe someone came across it or someone spots it this morning heading back south from the bridge. The trailer we had is a 10 foot clam shell Bearcat trailer. Call me at Sledheads 989-344-7669 if it has been spotted. Thanks,
Pete
