Bed time

Rosie survived. Just a lot of mud. Time for food.

No big deal just miles and miles of sink holes.

Pushed myself too hard today. Dropped the bike 4 times in thick mud. Tomorrow will be a rest day.

Better photo when i’m home next week. Drone shot of the tip of northern Michigan

Now, it is time for some food and a beer. Not a bad camping spot. The entire state park is empty.

It took four hours of writing, three of which off-road and about 30 miles of tough to rain to make it to the very north most point of Michigan. Worth it. Drone photo soon. #HighRockBay

Then, I crossed this which was eventful

After riding for 25 miles down a terrible road, I came to this blocked road. I spent an hour finding the best spot to cross and finally made it without dropping the bike.#upperpeninsula #watercrossing #Adventurebike

Today, I found a tunnel

Today, I got the hell out of Dodge. #Advrider #upperpeninsula

During the tumble earlier, I noticed my handlebars were out of whack. 5 minute parking lot fix and it’s all straight again. kids, that’s why you should alwasy travel with a T40-T60. Those lower triple tree bolts on the #R1200GS are T50s.

Lighthouse or Lookout? #CoastGuardPoint in #GrandMarais.

Oops. #DirtNap #R1200GS.

Hello from Michigan #UpperPenninsula

Not too shabby. #MotoCamping #algonquinprovincialpark

Did 200KMs of dirt yesterday. Black flies are out in full force.

Not a top 3 campsite but definitley top 5. Loons, geese, a tornado and tons of wind. Happy to have a 4 season tent. Winds were over 50MPH.

Hello from #algonquinprovincialpark. Camping here tonight on my way to Michigan. VERY hot like 91 degrees F…I mean 33C. #MotoTouring

Next Motorcycle trip begins on Friday. I’m doing 3000 miles over 11 days, journeying to Michigan’s Upper Peninsula to take up a ‘big bike off road’ route designed by ADVRider’s Famous Cannonshot. The first 3 days of camp sites are booked. It’s early in the season …

…sold the Golf R. I’m going to miss it. Video up soon.
