Looks nice and secluded, just the way I like it. I can't believe there's still snow on the ground and that road looks nearly washed out . Is the SXS yours?

Not my SXS, I was in a place called Pine Stump Junction, lol, and saw a couple old guys on Ranger EV's arguing with some others about how nice it is to be able to drive right up to a deer lol.

They told me there was a solar powered charge station on the trail along Lake Superior, and sure enough, it's out there in the middle of nowhere lol.

Is that the equivalent of "jacklighting" but in an EV??!! LOL

Wild, did the charger look like this? LOL

Pretty much the same thing, probably illegal the same, but no one up there cares lol.

The chargers are hanging on the wall of the container, the one that Ranger is hooked to is just below the "O" in Polaris.

It's probably 20kw of panels on the roof, and I'm guessing the container is full of batteries and charge controllers.

Planning a U.P. road trip in early October. Will be coming up from FL and trailering the camper with us. Colors should be just about perfect that time of the year. Really looking forward to it!

If you want to do more dirt, you can do a much more northerly route from Whitefish Point to Grand Marais, and Marquette to L'Anse.

OnX or the like is a great idea, and be prepared, it's very empty country.

Ahhhh, I see the panels and the charger now. I was on my phone earlier and couldn’t make out the storage container or the solar panels.

I see Jeep ducks are much bigger up there. Man what a hassle trying to carry one of those around. ;)

So did you end up at the mouth of the Huron River? I have always been curious if I could cross at the mouth and hit those trails down the east side of the river

You cannot cross at the mouth of the Huron.

You can cross at Big Erics Campground and explore that area, that's where I crossed going east to west.
