The 3rd annual U.P. Overland trip was a blast. Met a lot of great new people and hung out with friends from trips past. Lots of pictures to pour through, tons of video to edit too.
Check out the U.P. Overland Facebook Page to see everyone's photos.
We've got a photo thread up on the U.P...

Upper Peninsula Overland 2010- August 10-15
Going into its 3rd year, the annual Upper Peninsula Overland trip is continuing to grow and...
Strange to say the least, had the screen flicker a few times...just like my monitor is going out but it's only doing it on Mud. Not sure what could even cause it from a connection / content standpoint.
I'm likely the only one, the weird guy...just wanted to post up in case I'm not actually...
Sure, we're about 9 months away from next year's U.P. Overland but I thought I'd share some of the pics from our first scouting leg.
We're looking west for this one, with some time in the Porcupine Mountain area as well as other parts of the U.P. we haven't covered in the last 2 years...

My uncle just had his Tacoma bought back by Toyota for frame issues too.
Local dealers were buying the trucks like crazy for good money ahead of the buyback.
So now the Tundra's are under the micro?
I know Toyota steel has always suspect, let's hope we're not...
This poor f*cker couldn't catch a chippy if it sat on his face.
I wish I could get video of it. He'll run over to the stump, chippy knows he's coming and that he's a retard...goes down in hole, dog circles, runs wildly in all directions and moves on; chippy comes back on top of stump...
Was in Fleet Farm yesterday looking around and they literally had too much gear to look at for camping / fishing / etc.
This particular store in Green Bay had a pretty slick mil / surplus section.
I was pretty impressed...and the prices weren't too bad either.

Prompting me for a password in certain site areas?
It could very well just be something on my Mac, I was on a local university website and some weird s*** happened to my machine.
But I am running the updated FF browser, not Safari.
Thoughts?
Looking at a run-around DD truck for the U.P. so I can put the Troopy away from salt, etc.
What is the HIGHEST mileage you'd consider on an SBC350?
Factor in all oil changes, good compression, transmission shifts are fine, etc.
This truck I'm looking at is 207K on the clock; but...
This was a blast. Posting here to share:

24 rigs showed all told.
I will say, I was impressed with the Troopy.
With more appreciation than I can muster to Bull, the Troopy has officially landed in Upper Michigan and is enjoying "Lake Life".
There will certainly be many, many pics of our adventures. Can't wait to put the boat up top and chase some hard to get to fishing holes.
Rodney, you are...
I was talking to a friend who moved out here in 94...said he and his wife did a week of driving / camping from south to north and back....
I'm thinking that would be cool...also looking for closer places to go here in the Dana Pt / OC area. Never been camping out here but usually tried to go...
Hey gang...my roommate is ready to trigger on a 40. Can you folks keep your eyes open for me and let me know if you come across something?
$10K range.
PM me and it hits my dash email.
