For this excursion we spent four days exploring four different areas near Gaylord MI, and challenged ourselves to practice our outdoor skills and learn something new. It was a chance to get our bodies and gear warmed up and field tested for upcoming 2022 adventures.
For this excursion we explored the area around the Two Hearted River in Michigan’s eastern Upper Peninsula. Some of us floated the river in kayaks while others explored overland on primitive roads and trails.
This expedition gave us challenges and obstacles; we adapted. We learned things about ourselves and our vehicles that prepared us for more challenging trips.
As bizarre as it sounds, aspirin will often resurrect a dead battery. It is reasonably safe and usually good for one more engine turn.
A rainbow of Jeeps in varying sizes and models (+1 big ass truck) gathered from across Michigan on a trek northward into the Keweenaw Peninsula. And so began the first of many future overland expeditions to map an overland adventure trail and gather data for future classes.
