Hey Everyone,
Just thought I'd share a few photos and videos from a quick camping and wheeling trip with my son and my friend to the Silver Lake Sand Dunes in west Michigan. We're a bit north of Detroit so it was about a 3 1/2 hour drive out from my house.
The Jeep was great on the highway and on the dunes. New tires BFG AT, OME lift and all of the general maintenance items (u-joints, bushings, etc.) made for a much better trip than it would have been when I first bought the Jeep a bit over a year ago.
We left mid-morning and set up camp before heading out to the dunes. We took the top and doors off (put the top at the back of the camp site and the doors in the tent) then headed out.
Here are a few photos from the first day. Beautiful weather and found a lot of great places to park and talk to other Jeepers as well.
Parked next to some other TJs (and a YJ) for a quick walk along Lake Michigan.
We stopped to check out the drag strip for a little while before heading back to camp.
Had a great time back at the campsite at night. My wife was thrilled when my son came back from the trip trying to 'cheers' everyone.
There was a surprise rain about 4am. We hopped up and put the top back on before the Jeep got too wet, but it was a pretty rainy morning.
After we packed up, we took a few more trips around the dunes before heading home. Overall a great trip, and we can't wait to go back again soon.
