COMPLETED: Trip to Rock Bottom

[moose1]

I took a four day weekend to run up to deer camp this weekend in Rock, MI. The camp is owned by a good friend and a co- worker of my late father. Last deer season he was talking about plans for the camp and i told him I would be up for a maintenance weekend/summer vacation. Any way, I headed out after work on Wed. a little over 6 hours north then west into the UP.

We spent the better part of 2 days adding a roof to the porch and blocking off part for a future bathroom.

After working each day I headed out in the TB exploring the back roads. I'm not really sure all the roads I traveled but seems like every road eventually turned into a two track/trail with sign stating "Seasonal road not maintained by the county". It was awesome, most trails were a mix of sand and rock that ran next to the Escanaba river.

I am not sure if it was public or private land along the trails but there was dozens of turn offs/ camp sites along the trails.

I can't wait to head back to the Upper it is truely a outdoor play ground.

Looks like a great area to hunt and play in, moose1. I've never been east of Alberta, so I apreciate pictures from other parts of N.America, and I've heard a lot about the UP. I love the trail splatter on your truck, that's exactly how a REAL SUV should look!

I would like to get up there sometime with the family to venture around

it is beautiful up there but i got to having so much fun that i forgot to take more pictures. I did get a few at the bridge and how the truck ended all splattered.

I would have stopped by Roger city but i was afraid to see what real rig looks like.
