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!

 

Four Wheel Camper Adventure on da Lake Superior North Shore

Five day camping trip, the final 3 days I was dispersed camped southwest of Silver Bay, Minnesota. Started out the 3rd day of the trip scouting off forest roads for a suitable pulloff for my pickup / Four Wheel Camper and trailer. 

As luck would have it, I found 2 locations. Drove the rig down a spur forest road and was able to back the trailer onto a smaller, somewhat overgrown forest road.

One day on the 300 KLX. Took off for the day in the rain. It actually makes it easier to gear up for the rain from the get go. Hooked on to Highway #1 that heads north towards Ely. Steady rain most of the day. Traveled the highway scouting for some likely forest roads. Found a 2 track road that led to a remote lake. The trail meandered up and down until it narrowed into a single trail. Crossed a creek and got bogged down a bit in a muddy low area. Got out of the bog, then came upon a very cool forest lake where the trail ended.

Back at camp with a good day of exploring on the moto. About 110 miles of pavement, gravel forest roads and a couple good forest trails. Good time adventure!

Cover up

RZR day.

Back er in about 150 yards off the spur trail. Good remote camp for 3 days. 

My “Frogg Togg” rain suit, good for rain, bugs and dust.

Gotta check out Lake Superior. Skip a few rocks, climb around a few rocks, listening to the waves on the rocks. Lake Superior Rocks!

Ride on!
 

Rolling the RZR / Camp Cooking / Fitness Program / Northern Minnesota Camp

First big day/night out in the RZR from my base camp in farm country.

The whole motorsports fleet out in the sunshine at base camp.

Good Spring weather, cooking up some eggs, gonna be using the outdoor Coleman stove.

Breakfast 

A late night cruise on country roads, found a good route into town using gravel and pavement county roads. Joined Anytime Fitness, seems as though it’s gonna be a good fit for my lifestyle. Get in a workout and a shower after.

Eyes on ya...

Keep it simple and get in a good workout.

Gotta fuel the passion... 

Got away for a 4 day camping trip up northern Minnesota. Mountain bike riding and getting some chores done. Was able to get some laundry done and capped off the last night with a 3 mile trip down to a bar/grill on the lake.

Last breakfast in north camp before heading out. 

Ride on!
