Hopefully that video didn't give anyone sea sickness with the fast-forwarding effect. I used it to crunch down ~3 hours worth of driving into a short youtube video.
I'm happy to share as much information as I have about my little slice of heaven here in Northern Michigan. I agree with you Jefe, that information and details on trails and back-roads are hard to come by sometimes. I don't know if it's folks protecting their favorite spots, or they don't want to send someone down a road where they might get stuck, or what exactly.
Hard call to make man! There's plenty of beautiful paved roads that would make for a great bike ride, as long as the weather cooperates. If you make it to my neck of the woods, you could setup your TC at the Platte River CG and spend a day riding M-22, what a great road.
On the other hand, the Huron/Manistee National Forest has an extensive ATV trail system, for non-street legal atv's only (I guess they don't want Jeeps and Subarus having too much fun?).
Another great area for "4-wheelin" is around the HodenPyle dam area, lots of muddy forest roads. There's a gem of a USFS campground south-east of the HodenPyle reservoir, small sites good for tents or truck campers... Seaton creek I think it's called.
EDIT: corrected name of campground on m-22

After looking at GordonThree video I might want to rethink and not bring the Harley and instead bringing the ATV and do some trail riding. Or start getting busy on the Jeep so I can tow it and bring it instead. Decision, decisions, do not know which way to go.
