    Another amazing video. I love the UP. It's like a different world. Your ability to find stealth camping sites is uncanny. I'll spend a whole day looking to find squat. Loved the video coming across SD. Have never traveled that way. Will have to try it now that you've shown it. Welcome back to Strugis. See you soon.

    Thanks Joe! I was planning to take a similar route to SD this year, starting from Atlanta and heading to the UP. I was intending to bypass Marquette entirely but I believe that would have been a mistake. Due to a broken wing I won’t be making the trip this season, thanks for a nice preview of next year’s route!

    Wow, what a long trip that is from Canada all the way to Sturgis ... LOL!I'm glad you give yourself enough time to take it leisurely and not have to rush there and put a ton of miles down - that sure does take a lot of the fun out of it (depending on circumstances). The smoked fish looked appetizing and that beef pasty definitely looked delicious! I love seeing all the local foods and cultures that you explore and share! Sorry about all the rain still - hopefully this will be the last of the rain for you going forward to Sturgis (at least one could hope ... LOL)! Also, that was definitely a good call with moving camp away from those dead trees even though I'm sure that was the last thing you wanted to do. The scarecrow was pretty funny I have to say as well! Lastly that vintage Kawasaki 900 was in really clean condition - amazing and really cool bike! Thanks as always for sharing and stay safe out there brother! I really wish I could've made it to Sturgis this year to see you!
    PS - That was a really cool note to find at the end and shocked it lasted out in the wilderness for a month before you found it! Very cool and inspiring! You're the man Joe! 👍👍👍

    Hey! I'm glad you found my note! 'Home Sweet Cliff' is a great spot. Your content is very inspiring for me and I was able to make a 10 day trip from MN to WY and back. I tried to take what I learned from you to find dispersed camping spots every night. Finding a new spot to ninja camp every night can be challenging, but riding the country side is such a rewarding experience. After my trip I have even more appreciation for the effort you put into these videos. Thanks again for sharing. 🙏. I hope you have a good time at the Rally.
