Part 2 of 5 Day Camping Adventure in Northern Minnesota / Winter in the Four Wheel Camper

Good trip with dispersed camping in the State Forest. My Ford F-350 is becoming the adventure vehicle that I’ve envisioned. With a Warn Winch mounted in a cradle off the front connected into the new receiver hitch. With the Four Wheel Camper, set up with a propane forced air furnace, 160 watts of solar panel on the roof, a duel battery setup and 2 burner stove. This is a true Adventure Truck for off the grid travel and camping.
Leaving base camp in the afternoon for a night drive on the Forest Roads.


A good little snow overnight to give a wintery feel.

A bit of late night supper after exploring a couple hours in the dark.

Base camp.

This was a good full day of exploring the ATV trails along with miles of Forest Roads. Was able to get onto some smaller spur trails.

Final night of a good time campfire, listening to the owls and enjoying the solitude of the dispersed camping.

Ride on!

Late Season BMW 1250GSA Ride / Four Wheel Camper Dispersed Camping / Past 48 Hours




Exploring the Mississippi River Bluffs along the Wisconsin border on my BMW 1250GSA.
After riding the Moto all day, pointed the truck north towards Lake Mille Lacs. Drove into a brief snow storm, pulled over at 1:30am climbed in the camper, fired up the furnace and got a good sleep. That morning, stopped and had a breakfast with the Mille Lacs Walleye...



Traveled north another 70 miles north and dispersed camped off a Forest Road. Beautiful night under the stars, temps not too cold, about 35 overnight. Furnace in my FWCamper keeps me warm at 70 degrees. Good walk in the woods in the morning, 
Adventure on!
