Day 2: Sleeping Bear Dunes On Day 2 we got to take the family to the Dunes and show them around Glen Arbor. We did a short hike at Pyramid point followed by the family trying the smaller, less consequential dune climb. (If you try to go down and up the big dune but don't make it, expect a...

Day 1: SE MI to Traverse City On Day 1 we made the long drive up to Traverse City MI. Not too much of note but we did get to stop at the world famous "Cops & Donuts"! The cruisers were doing great wit hone of them being significantly thirstier than the other. The 80 will pass anything but a...

Hey All, I wanted to share the trip that my family and I just finished with our Land Cruisers through Michigan and the UP! It was mostly a road trip with a splash of dirt thrown in. But this was the first major family road trip in a long time and with our 2 Cruisers! I'll start with the...

hey all, Is anyone interested in going to Detroit 4fest this weekend? I'll be there Saturday afternoon since I'm hosting my final Cars & Coffee of the season that morning. If anyone wants to stop by for coffee and donust before heading up, swing by! I'll be in the 715 Cars & Coffee Detroit...

Sunday - 257mi Sunday morning we woke up and grabbed breakfast at Java Joe's (my favorite breakfast joint in St. Ignace). We were also meeting up with McNally who had been driving the Maximus 3 JT up from his house all morning. After breakfast, we stopped at the local grocery store to...

The weekend before Saturday - 270mi The trip started for me the weekend before. I drive the M715 and it really likes to camp around 55mph in its current state. On top of that, we had a cameraman (Mike) coming with us that needed a way to get there. So he rode shotgun. Saturday morning...

Hey all, Some friends and I put together a trip that we called the Back Yard Overland Tour (BYOT) that we just finished running. We went through the upper peninsula of Michigan and ended at Detroit 4Fest. It took me 7 days and probably close to 1000mi to complete the trip. I'm creating this...

Sweet! I’ll see you there

8?

Could do that. Or deliberately roll in a bit later to avoid the traffic. High Octane isn’t open in the morning but could meet there and drive in on Golf dr. Much faster than using woodward

Anyone going to M1 tomorrow morning? I’m being the 80 series that I just finished.

The cars and coffee I'm hosting in Waterford is 8:30-10:30. come on by if you get a chance! Sorry I missed you guys. I got to talk to the guy with the JT and a couple who brought a Wagoneer. I bet it would be easier for us to chat on the 9th. Here's the link to the event page

Yup! I'll be hosting July 9th! I'll also be at M1 tomorrow. I may have an 80 there as well. We'll see if I can get the control arm bushings done and brake master cylinder bleed.

Day 6 - the long way home The 6th day was our road day to head back home. We had breakfast in town and then took a quick picture in front of the bridge before crossing and parting ways. We took US-23 down the easter coast of the state. I had planned a couple sightseeing stops to break...

Day 5 - Sightseeing the hard way On day 5 we were going to try to stay on trails as much of the day as possible. We stuck to dirt roads and trails that were named as we figured those would be legal for us to use. We would leave from our campground in the Pictured Rocks area and head East...

almost! there's a lower lot on the church side. that's where we meet up. I get coffee and donuts for everyone and they're available until we run out.

Welcome then! Michigan is beautiful but the roads are obscene. I'm from Ohio myself and there are a lot of transplants in the metro Detroit area. M1 is an amazing event! they have 500-1500 cars on any given day. If you like classics and cruise ins, the VFW in waterford off of Union Lake...

oh dang! You're really close! small world!

Grundle, where in Waterford are you? I'm at the corner of Hospital and Cooley Lake rd.

Looks like a good time! I'm also hosting a cars and coffee this weekend if anyone wants to come out and say hi! I'll be at both for sure. I'm at most M1 events if I'm in town. Cars & Coffee @ the Lakes 2nd Sat of every month (except August) 8:30-10:30 1450 S Hospital Rd, Waterford Twp, MI...
