In the lower, the majority is pretty lame in my opinion. Go to the upper and head west, once you get to Marquette...things get better. North of Marquette, or Champion area, or anywhere in the Keweenaw pennisula, or the Porcupine Mountains. All these places/areas offer great...
My thoughts exactly...spend the doe on a South America adventure...then 4K to ship to Africa...lol. If you are truely "overlanding" long term or for several months, thousands of miles from home...you want to keep it simple. No one with a half a brain puts their vehicle in a situation that can...

This...was the beginning. See how the Defender is pointing the same way as the arrow...l'm a stickler for details...lol.
