I’ll be up for another backroad ride to Grand Marias in summer or fall 2025. Could use some help getting organized and recruiting. If anyone is looking for trails north of Duluth let me know, I have a few routes mapped out I can share.

Sharing for awareness… fines can be high! Looks like we have some Superior National Forest road closures in NE Minnesota following the heavy rain and flooding. Be aware of closed USFS roads if you are going through the area and be cautious for washouts. Forest Closure 09-09-24-05: June Storm...

I would love to get any update… @Ford Motor Company my 2021 is still stuck on a 2022 version.

Same here. I just want the full screen Apple CarPlay 😩

@dejones64 I’m considering something more low-profile like the GFC or IO lightweight tents. Still shopping.

Anyone interested in a Tuff Stuff Trailhead roof top tent and awning? I’m planning on upgrading. Willing to deliver in NE MN or along 35 Duluth to St Paul.

@wsteward that’s the best area! From there you have good access to the Timber Frear loop (FR 348) and Pancore Lake (FR 338) which was my favorite part of the trip. DM me if you want me to send you a route from Tofte to Grand Marais.

Took a little rest up against a tree…

Mine is parked until winter is over or I decide to drive south or out west again. Trying to keep the road salt exposure limited.

@JayFlyer it was a great trip! I updated the GaiaGPS route to avoid all of the backtracking and DEEP mud I encountered. There’s a handful of photos and a short video on the main Midwest group page. Here’s the URL for the map: https://www.gaiagps.com/public/57QncdGU2qKM3ntwyD56wkNW I will...

@dejones64 Badlands 5500 on a hitch mount… worked like a charm. Had to size down a little to fit it under the spare tire.

@dejones64 I also removed the crazy muddy section from the revised route. If anyone wants to go beat the crap out of their Bronco just let me know so I can point them in that direction.

@dejones64 I have a portable winch and I know the area quite well, I also have people in the area that were ready to assist if I got into any trouble. I would never recommend anyone do this solo. There were a few trails that got a little tight but if you’re sticking to the route you shouldn’t...

Photos and video are up.. we’re going to be doing this one again for sure!

@dejones64 how are repairs going?

@Julz670 @ramiref @MPLS Bronco Fan have you all decided if you are in for this trip?

@dejones64 sorry to hear about your Bronco. I was really looking forward to seeing yours there, it’s almost exactly what I wanted if i had been bumped to a 2022 model. Let us know how it goes, interested in hearing how available parts are. Also hoping for a speedy repair!

I’m locking in the dates for September 24-25 Plan on provisions for one night at a rustic camp (RTT or ground tent, food, water, etc.) I have a couple of extra GMRS radios available for the trip. We’re going to be on CH 16 if you are bringing your own.

@Julz670 I’ll update the event if there’s no other interest on starting Friday https://www.bronco6g.com/forum/group-events/northeast-minnesota-overland-scout-route.39/
