I’m running the route now. So glad Lady Rocklander informed me of the muddy section. It’s an easy bypass by heading up to Mail Route Rd and turning right. Bypasses the mud pit. AWESOME VIDEO !!!
It looks like you guys gave as good as you got. My brother used to deer hunt up there and said it was always wet during bow season and frozen after thanks giving. Nice work!
I just did this route the other day. Definitely wet, but if you’ve done any “non Midwest” off-roading, it’s very very mild to the point of being boring.
Great video captures the kind of mental fortitude required too overland and I’ve been there nerves straight shot at the end of the day. Might want to ditch the AT tires and go MT. AT tires are terrible in deep mud which is 90% of thr trails in MI.
Thanks for the video, it was a trail I was planning on last month till my jeep motor gave up the ghost. Just got it back replaced. What did you find the biggest challenge to this trail? And would you suggest with or without the trailer?
@@jr_jeep4470 hi there, the only challenging part was that deep muddy pit. I’ve heard that that section is now blocked off. I’d do it with my trailer again for sure.
New Sub Here! I saw your handle on the video from #firstpathfrontier Thanks for the video, I need to put the 7 hour plane crash route on my bucket list for sure!
Do you have more info on where this portion of the trail is (specifically the part around that 7-8 minute mark you mentioned)? Those are more of the trails I'm interested in. Thanks!
You really need to teach your son how to drive the jeep. Your lives may depend on his ability to wheel the jeep for help.. If you don't have one you ABSOLUTELY need a Personal Location Beacon for Emergencies. (PLB) We lived on a farm and I learned to drive a car at 12 years old...so its doable.

Awesome! Glad you found a bypass, enjoy the rest of your trip!

Wow, looks intense, that’s one of those times you wish you were doing the trail with someone else, incase of getting stuck

I switched to Mickey Thompson's Baja Boss... AT's. 👍
Thanks for posting this. Just learned of this trail. Looking forward to running this one.
Great video, Jen! It was also great to finally meet you at last week's Rigs & Coffee! Beautiful rig!!
Thanks so much! Great to meet you as well (finally!) and see that cool rig in person 👍
Your living my dream!
Life is an adventure-get out there when you can!
@@ladyrocklander I chose fishing most often. Camping and driving threw the woods doesn't happen enough
@@D.A.1karp that's awesome tho! Never enough time to play, is there?!

Hey that’s awesome! I’ll give ‘em a like, and thanks so much!!

Yep around 19 minutes I explain where that was.

I haven't read anything on this route in awhile but it's not suitable for a subi like I read!
Not that section but all other sections you’ll be just fine
