Kristian and Jason- you guys did an outstanding job!! Absolutely a pleasure to meet and share this trip with such a wonderful group of people. Sorry I had to miss the final stop at the Locks- I'm back home in GR with time to just upload the first few pictures.
Thanks again for a memorable weekend- BTW, someone should make a UP Overland 2009 logo with an AMC Eagle somewhere in it....

Bluedog and Munchkin made back in under 8 hrs. or just after midnight. We logged 1064 miles for the 4 days. Great trip I'm downloading pictures as I type this. They will follow soon.

The U.P. is one of my favorite places in the U.S.
Can't wait to get back there.

I only put on 555 miles. I figure the Chicagoland folks put on quite a bit.
It was great to see some new area and meet some great people!!

The rest of the group smoothing out the trail for our stock 100 series...and the AMC Eagle...coz, there was, like this HUGE drop off, it was BADA@#, like a frickin' four or maybe fifteen foot drop off. Took us HOURS to shovel in mud and tree trunks and stuff.....

Actually the Eagle did splendidly...

Joash, love your pics. What program do you run them through?
The Eagle made it home A-OK. Choked out on Dust & Dirt and desperate for some garage relaxation. :victory:
