Yeah some of those trails are a little overgrown. I usually wheel my TJ but trying to keep it out of all the salt.

@@TrailExpedition good to see a stock Jeep can go there.

Well it does have a 2.5” suspension lift and slightly larger than stock tires. But she does well. Trutracs and 35”s are on the short list of things to get.

Being high centered is a bigger deal when your alone without a winch. It requires serious creativity.

What exhaust is on the red Jeep? Sounds good.
@TrailExpedition Жыл бұрын
I believe at that time he had a Pypes exhaust kit but he has switched it up since then.

Great video! Do you remember what site number this was?
@TrailExpedition3 жыл бұрын
Not sure the site. The campsite is right next to Tippy Dam.

You head south on upper river road off of Coates Hwy and you drive past government landing. There are many self serve first come sites on the tippy dam pond. After passing government landing there are two turn offs to the left. Take the second left turn off of upper river road and continue straight down that two track until you reach this campsite. There are multiple other sites there and it gets really busy in summer on weekends. Great place if you get a site.

Do you remember where the tower was at? Best way to get to it?
@TrailExpedition2 жыл бұрын
Honestly couldn’t tell ya. Followed a friend who had been there before. You could probably find it by doing a quick google search.

Udell fire tower. It is off M55 headed west towards manistee from M37. The tower can no longer be climbed as they have gated off and removed stairs long ago.
