I went north to visit some friends Hougton, MI for a camping trip. Went out to see what my stocker could do. In these pics is my friend and his '97 GC. Had a blast but can't wait to make it a more formidable competitor on some trails. We were making the most of the terrain that the U.P. provides, not what some of you are used to I'm sure. There is some fun technical stuff out there too, check out the last video. Let me know what you think.

Brockway Mt. 1400 ft ASL, the peak is only 600-800 horizontal yrds from Lake Superior who's surface elevation is ~730 ft ASL. And the backside (seen here) drops quicker than the frontside to the lake.

Looking across Lake Superior to the Northwest is Minnesota.
