    US Midwest BYOT 2022 - M715

    The weekend before Saturday - 270mi The trip started for me the weekend before. I drive the M715 and it really likes to camp around 55mph in its current state. On top of that, we had a cameraman (Mike) coming with us that needed a way to get there. So he rode shotgun. Saturday morning...

    US Midwest BYOT 2022 - M715

    Hey all, Some friends and I put together a trip that we called the Back Yard Overland Tour (BYOT) that we just finished running. We went through the upper peninsula of Michigan and ended at Detroit 4Fest. It took me 7 days and probably close to 1000mi to complete the trip. I'm creating this...

    Could do that. Or deliberately roll in a bit later to avoid the traffic. High Octane isn’t open in the morning but could meet there and drive in on Golf dr. Much faster than using woodward

    The cars and coffee I'm hosting in Waterford is 8:30-10:30. come on by if you get a chance! Sorry I missed you guys. I got to talk to the guy with the JT and a couple who brought a Wagoneer. I bet it would be easier for us to chat on the 9th. Here's the link to the event page

    Michigan UP in the M715

    Day 5 - Sightseeing the hard way On day 5 we were going to try to stay on trails as much of the day as possible. We stuck to dirt roads and trails that were named as we figured those would be legal for us to use. We would leave from our campground in the Pictured Rocks area and head East...

    US Midwest Rigs-N-Coffee Meetup and Hangout

    Welcome then! Michigan is beautiful but the roads are obscene. I'm from Ohio myself and there are a lot of transplants in the metro Detroit area. M1 is an amazing event! they have 500-1500 cars on any given day. If you like classics and cruise ins, the VFW in waterford off of Union Lake...

    Michigan UP in the M715

    Day 3 - dirt time On Day 3, we left from our campsite at Ahmeek and tried to find our way to High Rock bay via trails for as much of the time as possible. The first trail that was marked "ORV" on our map turned out to be a gated snowmobile route. So we rerouted to Cliffside Dr and That was...
