Let me start by saying I could not have imagined wheeling with a better group. It's the best run I've had to date up there! We covered almost all the trails, with only one exception, Tight Twistys. We completed the entire Marblehead loop and Marblehead itself was a blast. For those of us that explored Turtle Ridge on Saturday, that was unreal! Some of the best terrain that I've had my JK on yet.

On Wednesday, most of us met up in Grayling, Michigan and when up as a group.

We then proceed north across the Mac and onto the Ferry

And finally onto Drummond

On Thursday we started taking on the inland trails. Terrain up there is a combination of jagged rocks and mud, although it has been really dry. There were still a couple good water crossings too.

And then onto Coopers Hole which is about 150 yards long and on this trip at least about 2 feet deep


On Friday we make the run to Marblehead. We covered some of the same trails from Thursday heading out there and then made our way to Pilots Cove for Lunch.

After Marblehead, the Trails became a bit muddier.

And then it opened back up to Lake Huron as we worked our way back out.

Saturday, a lot of the group headed back home so we were down to 5 jeep that choose to go over to Turtle Ridge. It was the Best Decision that we made on the Trip! Lost of large climbs and really tight trails.

We first hit a Rock area to do some stretches.

I got my rear axle wedged between two rocks and had to pull line. Easy extraction, but I'm pretty sure I found some poison Ivy in there.
