    Road closed!!!

    Aww, come on, you could have done that one all day!!! JK!! Were you able to try it out? It looks like there was a bit of access on the left side, but you know that pics don't always show the true dimension of things. Was it that bad?

    I'll never understand why everyone refers to it as "4th of july" rather than independance day. we call it christmas, not 25th of december. it's new year's day, not 1st of january... blah.

    Oh, I don't know why...

    For one thing, we never saw any fireworks. We were many, many miles for the the nearest town. And, we took off Friday the 2nd, and got home on Monday the 5th.

    How about Mexico's Independance day... what's it called? Cinco De Mayo, which means ''May 5th" so they do the very same thing as we do.

    Some in this country consider " they " and " we " as two of the same. Maybe we will just inherit the holidays from everyone else. Quatro de Julio

    We took our Commander on a 2,200 mi. round trip to Southern Iowa to visit family and friends. RC lift was completed just one week prior, so it was also a test drive of the lift project. Smooth sailing up I-35.

    For Independence Day (nodding to Doc), I drove on concrete to Muskegon, Michigan and then sailed to Milwaukee, Wisconsin and back after spending a few days in Beer Town. But I left the Jeep at the pier. However, after the sailing vacation, I did drive to the cabin on the Ausable River, near Grayling.

    I just finished looking at your pictures and the Spot Satellite Adventure post. Great pictures. Super trip from the looks of it. I've been thinking of getting the Spot for sailing the Great Lakes.

    So did you plan your route ahead of time or just drive and decide on the go?

    The photos don't really show it that well. Maybe a horse could make it across on the left side, but that is a deep stream cut there. The left side is against the bank, and the stream bed ground between is very unstable rocks. The right is a couple hundred feet of air. I wouldn't even try my motorcycle there. If you lost it, it's a death ride to the bottom.

    The culvert got washed out too, and pieces are laying down on the right, out of the photo. The gap is about two Jeep lengths wide.

    That is how USFS road 4610 ends.
