The next morning I awoke and went for a dip before hitting the road. The goal for the day was the shipwreck museum at whitefish (long live the Edmund Fitzgerald) followed by the Hiawatha national forest. As I cruised along at 50 mph on the dirt road I saw enticing signs for a lighthouse to the...

Luckily, there were some very nice overlanders in the lot next to Fido rocking a sweet dodge power wagon(new) with a four wheel camper on the back. They shared the coordinates of a lovely free spot on Lake Superior (unheard of) and I returned the favor for the direction they were headed. Sent...

I ran into civilization two days ago. I was headed to pictured rocks state park and when I arrived it was completely booked. I returned to Fido I the parking lot and decided to ride my bike to the nearby forest service office for free camping recommendations.

The UP of Michigan is awesome! I managed to log a significant amount of dirt road miles over the last few days. I crossed the border from Wisconsin and stopped in Ishpeming for breakfast in honor of a friend who had roots there who had recently passed away. I see why she liked it. Lovely...

I bid farewell to Wisconsin and turned towards the Porcupine Mountain State Park in Michigan. Got up early this morning before the crowds and spotted four otters frollicking on the shore. Great way to start the day! Of course I left the real camera in the car and missed the photo op so you’ll...

Spent more time in Wisconsin fitting a seven foot wide Fido through three foot wide holes.... this is why we can’t have nice things! It really crazy how green everything is up here. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Spent the last couple of days tooling around on dirt roads in northern Wisconsin. Found my own private lake 20 miles from pavement. Just the way I like it. Horseshoe Lake, Chequamegon National Forest, Wisconsin Fido managed to find some mud along the way. As usual he didn’t disappoint...

Yes, the top has a single hydraulic piston transversely mounted that actuated a plate with four cables attached. One for each corner. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I hit the pavement from Spearfish and blasted through South Dakota(sunflowers) Minnesota (hot,humid,BUGS)and Wisconsin towards the UP of Michigan. Trying to get to cooler weather. Am currently hanging out in the Chequamegon National Forest. Fido is happy to be back on dirt roads! Sent from my...

I stayed in Spearfish for a week to observe wild life of another sort! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It was time to get on the Sturgis where my friends were waiting for me so I headed down through the Grand Canyon of the Black Hills which wasn’t quite so grand. I came across an area where all the trees were broken off 20 feet up. They were logging operations in the area and I was grumbling at...

I splurged and spent $11 at the restaurant just outside the monument. It was the first money other than fuel that I’ve spent since leaving town nine days before. From there I headed east into the Black Hills on Little Creek Road and found a camp spot at 6000 feet. It was absolutely stunning and...

I headed back South east along better Creek Road and then went and explored Barlow canyon after meandering through a bunch of rural dirt roads. I came upon Devils Tower from the dirt and it’s really stunning from the north. I don’t know why they always show it from the south which is its widest...

I headed east passed Sheridan and hit the dirt again on Buffalo Creek Road. It’s really gorgeous out there I didn’t expect the Rollinghills to be so beautiful. I went on up the lower powder river road and found some camping in Montana just south of Custer National Park. Elevation was low and it...

It looked like there was a four-wheel-drive trail up over a 10,000 foot pass that seems like it would be a good place to camp that night. I filled my water at Ranger Creek Campground and took a look. It looked rugged but doable but there were people parking there and hiking the road. I felt...

The next morning I packed up and headed north west along the base of the Big Horn Mountain Range. At this point I was really getting into the groove of the trip day after day of 100+ miles of dirt roads is my idea of heaven. The road turned to pavement for about three blocks through Hyattville...

When I got back to my bike it started hailing! I put my bike helmet on to keep from getting brained .l and headed down the road. It didn’t last long and I was back to Fido before I knew it. The best part about riding a mountain bike, the down hills are so much fun! Sent from my iPhone using...

The next morning I awoke to a pleasant surprise! I decided to have a down day and stay there for two nights. The trailhead to Helen Lake in the Cloud Peak wilderness looked doable so I hopped on my mountain bike and rode 6 miles to the trail head. Thunderstorms were brewing and It was...

I gassed up in Tensleep and it was ridiculously hot so I headed up Tensleep Canyon in search of higher ground to camp for the night. At the top of the canyon I turned north on a dirt road that skirted the west side of the big horn range. Almost immediately I found a small dirt trail that looked...
