Northern Lower Michigan camping trip with 2023 Mojave Gladiator

[Jrgunn5150]

Just a big photo dump of our trip in our new 2023 Mojave.

Towed our popup great, handled offroad great, only one hill climb I had to back down.

Lower Michigan doesn't have any super challenging terrain, but we had a lovely time, started the trip with 1400 miles, ended with 2000.

Thanks for sharing the pictures.
Also, shout out to Ionia County. Grew up between Portland and Ionia.

Looks like a fun time. But hope you took bug spray

Gorgeous scenery and Gladiator color!

But you can just say "Northern Michigan". Those in the know know you're still in the land of the Trolls

See above. I'm from Calumet myself, so everything down here is a bit too civilized for my normal tastes. Baraga area is our preferred location.

Looked familiar ... from Baldwin currently. So was curious if it was where I thought it was.

Hadn't been called a troll since I was transplanted to yooperland for a few years.

When I was a kid in Calumet, for some reason, we called people in the LP sugar beaters.

Never heard of sugar beaters. Must be a Keweenaw thing!

Used to be a lot of sugar beet farmers in the eastern & central part of the LP. Still quite a bit in some areas. So guess makes sense, never heard that one though. My father-in-laws family came from Laurium, I'll have to ask them sometime about that.

I went to Blissfield High School in SE Michigan.

The mascot used to be the Sugar Boys up until the late 50s.
