- The Michigan DNR does an amazing job of creating campgrounds and keeping those areas clean however there are still free camp spots to be found in the Upper Peninsula. There is some foil failing, blueberry picking and stumbling upon amazing spots in this video. Thanks so much for watching and make sure you are subscribed for more videos truck camping across the country!
If you are only here for boats do not fear we will be back on the water SOON!

The little lake you stayed at is called Little Pearch Lake. Right across the road from you is the road to goto the Mouth of the Two Hearted River. My wife and I stayed at your little spot a couple of years ago. Now, we travel about a mile down a trail from there to our special lake where we camp at. It is even more secluded and a very nice lake.
Susan & Tony here, thanks for all the nice words about our great state. Really would love to show you more some day.
Free beautiful beach, with camping…zMouth of Huron River and Lake Superior…..Also very tip of Copper Harbor..It’s the very beginning of U.S. 41… Get directions, beaches, and Lake Superior, again free camping!! A lot of free camping in Keweenaw county- upper Michigan
Your bucket list should of included sailing around Isle royal.
We would have but no dogs allowed! 🤷♀️
Thank you for sharing the Historic Markers. It just adds to your video and our enjoyment of touring with you. Billie, I just don't know, Sierra sometimes I think you are earning Angel wings with some of Billie's antics. Happy travels, hope you have another GoPro.
Those blueberries looked delish! 🫐 pie I want pie 😍
I'm here for the sailing, but love inland nature too. This was a really nice, feel-good video. You showed some great stuff on the U.P.. Never been there, and only know about it from my buddy telling me of the miserable winters with cars buried under snow during his time there in the 1980's at K.I. Sawyer AFB. Safe travels, from a PA sailor who just covered up his boat for the winter. :(
Welcome to the UP!
Oh no Billy got that “Look” from Sierra. We’ve all seen it Billy. You’ve got some repair ahead of you. Not just the equipment but to turn that look of disgust into a smile...best wishes. Great video content. Thanks for taking us along. Blessings for safe travels. 👍🇺🇸😎
Very nice video, you really captured the essence of the area I was born and raised in. Makes me a little home sick but I retired to where it's warm all year and easy on the old bones. If you get a chance check out the Les Cheneaux Islands on the east end of the U.P. a lot of historic areas there, Mackinac Island for example. No cars horses and bikes only.
I'll bet that road was nothing compared to Long Island after a harsh winter. Sierra, ask Billy about the cracks and potholes on parts of Montauk Hwy. in the spring.
At this time of the year in MI the wind good in the morning due to the warming. In MI blink and the weather will change. Enjoy You per land.
Great to see you guys traveling on land as well, we spent most of this summer traveling with our 5th wheel instead of Wild Child. Hoping to head south over the winter now that the land borders are opening in a few weeks.
Great video! I love how while going down that sandy road Sierra was all serious and a bit nervous and Billy is over there having a blast!! you two are the best!! and Sierra's facial expressions always rock!!!!!!
I never thought about taking a vacation in Michigan. Thank to you now I do
I’m glad I mentioned the Great Lakes way back when you started the land expedition. This was such a beautiful journey. 👍
Love seeing all the “out of the way” places!
I just came home from a month of camping and fishing in the UP. You are right in the area I was in. It is like going out west minus the mountains. Really enjoying your vlog.
Bringing back memories of farm life, and a very long wash board dirt road that would flood in the winter, and a 1/4-mile washboard driveway that we would have to regrade every few months or so. I never pictured Michigan to look like that either.
Glad your enjoying the UP of Michigan
I bet jetty is enjoying the colder air.
You have found some of the best impromptu camp sites. The last time we were on the UP was 1992 and we were on our Gold Wing Motorcycle pulling our camping trailer. Loved it.
You guys are awesome. I really like your blogs and travels. Keep up the great work.
I like your road trip videos but I can't wait for you to get back on a boat.
Ha! Never thought of using the drone for some recon. What a great way to scout out an area to see what's around you!
Love it, Love it, Love it!!!!!! There is sooooo much to see in the U.P. so you will just have to come back again real soon! Cool Campsite! Love the Upper Peninsula!!! Look up Crisp Point Lighthouse, and Whitefish Point Lighthouse, that one has a maritime museum and artifacts from the Edmond Fitzgerald !!!! Stay safe you three!!!!
Nice spot and got it all to yourselves, see you next week.
the music background to Billy gearing up for boarding got me dancing on my seat - that + watching Sierra doing happy faces in the chat before that ✨
I'm glad you two are having fun in the U.P.. We live one block from Lake Erie and realize how fortunate we are to have such treasures. I can't believe you keep going in the lakes up there. The water is freezing even in the summer. Great job on the video. Have fun and always be safe, my friends.
you guys hit it at the right time of the year, no mosquitos or black flies
Glad you are enjoying our beautiful state. The UP is an amazing place. Many people who live in Mi never get there, sad.
Billy an serra love them they to darn cute together.yes serra that was great blue berry haul.you can now make blue berry muffins.nice.love Billy's look hair nice look.lake mich is more ocean 🌊🌊waves
Great episode you guys enjoy and be safe 😃
That is always a problem with washboard roads, you don’t know whether to go real real slow or speed up to try and cruise over the hundreds of bumps in the road, either way it jars the heck out of you and your vehicle. It sure is a beautiful spot y’all are at, it seems so quiet and peaceful. Love that little town and the cool looking buildings. Stay safe. 👍🙏😎✌️
If you like boats, you gotta go to the whitefish point shipwreck museum
Billy, Sierra & Jetty girl. So enjoying Terra Tula. Still my fav channel. Fun to see these states (Im a traveler with Ohio home base) through your eyes/experiences. My parents loved primitive camping & I visited almost all 50 by the time I was 16. On the road again. Also on my Tartan 37.. so best of both. Met you both at Annapolis boat show. Thanks so much for the inspiration.. Taking my 16yr old son out for his adventures shortly. Peace.
What a great video. Love that you two a traveling the north woods. Keep the videos coming!
It's a lot more fun to see as much as you can.
Nice camping spot!! Have fun be safe!
Hey there “Yoopers”. Super nice vlog. Thanks and be safe 🙏👍.
BTW, Traverse City is the Cherry Capital of the world but you need to be there in July to reap its fruits and festivities.
goddang! pity the pickle barrel house museum was closed. in this age of tiny houses it would've been neat to see the inside!
nice to see you in our area. I'm in Sault Ste Marie Ontario Canada just across the boarder.
Good job bless you for sharing your life
Loving the journey
You guys should buy a jump box that has a tire inflator on it if youre on the road. Theyre good in a pinch if you need to fill a tire or jump your battery and they dont take up a lot of room. They also have charging ports for your devices and theyre super cheap. I dont go on road trips without one
Good work this week
Thanks!
My relatives have a cabin on Lake Superior that their family shares. It is lovely although I have never been to that exact location. A must see is the museum that features the actual bell from the Edmund Fitzgerald wreck.
AWESOME..
Love you guys great job 👍
I bet the fishing on that lake would be amazing
Hi Billy give Sierra a little more credit she puts up with some crazy adventures you want to go on me as a wife I wouldn't even give as much as she does she is an awesome woman you guys are both awesome be safe on your journey I cannot wait until you guys get your new boat
very nice.
Billy is such a die-hard adventurous🏄
Sierra, I do not think anyone
could EVER call you a wimp lol
we welcome you in michigan. everything north of lansing is dog paradise!
Hey guys, did you by any chance get out and look at that road closely. It's likely a corduroy road which is made by putting logs across the road and then filling the spaces in between with gravel. The lumpiness of the logs never really goes away thus the very regular and very rough ride. The good thing is it tends to reduce pot holes. Glad you appreciate my adopted home state. Half of the people of Michigan live in metro Detroit and once you get north of Lansing the population per square mile goes way down. In the UP it's even less. The UP has 29% of the land of Michigan but only 3% of the population or about 300,000 people, less than many good sized cities. Keep the good stuff coming guys.
You all need to point that truck on a 180 heading. Everybody in Michigan is tuning up snowblowers and waxing snowmobiles!🥶OR put all the water stuff in storage pick up some snowboards and head for the Rockies? Can’t wait to see what’s next have fun be safe!😁🇺🇸
Cool video!! 😎👍✌️
Time to head south
The torture you have to go through nowadays to make a buck. Freezing wind, a freshwater lake that looks like a ocean. And it's too hard to get the foil up them the water. Thanks for your videos. I'm 62 never had the opportunity to see the great lakes. Ty. God bless.
Huckleberries! Different than blueberries and only found in certain spots around the country.
No mosquitoes? Well you get 20 miles of washboards to rattle your teeth out instead. Michigan looks good on a postcard at times. My favorite spot Michigan sand dunes!
Billy if you ever want to try surfing on Lake Superior, my brother in law teaching surfing in Duluth MN, in January...
Oh well , the Patreon will pay for it.
I grew up in Michigan as a kid, and have always missed its beauty since leaving. The state has a lot of bumpy dirt roads once you get to the boonies. It's so neat watching you visit places I went to as a kid. Billy was crazy going into Lake Superior at this time of year, bhr. Back in the 50's & 60's when Michigan got a lot more snow, made life in Michigan a real challenge in the Winter.
Knarly breaking out the Windfoil!! Sweet! Bummer no wind... sorry man.. :(
I went to high school in Marquette. My Boy Scout troop went to Isle Royale twice. Camped near the Two-Hearted River twice with a University of Michigan Biology professor. The UP is God's country. As we used to say up there, it's not the end of the world, but you can see it from here.
And, yeah you don't f*** with Gitchegumee. It will bite you every time.
You should have fished in that last lake!
We would love to see the shot of the camera destruction if the card still works! that'd be an awesome shot!
I grew up in the Keweenaw Peninsula I now live by Traverse City to much snow up there
We have the same fish plates for our boat
You're probably already on the West Coast. But I typically air down 20 or 30 pounds on washboard roads. It makes for a much nicer ride.
That's one way to shake the rust off, lol
Ok so I’m thinking that even with the bumpy road and busted Go Pro the view, the peace, the quiet and free campsite was worth it.
Within reason I find it smoother to go fast on a washboard road.
Love your land adventures but what's the update on your new boat ? Stay Safe & Fair Winds !!
Those waves on Lake Superior surprised this Florida girl. I guess I knew but I haven't been to the Great Lakes area since I was a kid visiting family. Very cool! I can't wait to see you guys in snow😁 --Jessica from Jacksonville
Hey, its a slight plus being on land during heavy weather! I miss the tri...
VIDEO REQUEST: please please make a video of how the trimaran is in heavy weather / big waves. I'm looking into one of these and im sure its in the backs of anyones minds who is serious about them
The best spot to kite is Grand Haven if your ever near grandrapids mi give a shout.
I used to live in Wyoming, Michigan as a kid. I have a lot of fond memories from the Grand Rapids area, and beyond.
I was about to say "Billy is crazy," but then I remembered that I bought electrically-heated motorcycle clothing so I could ride in 35° weather.
You never know when you'll need it bud. We rode Alaska for 5,000 miles and I said to myself I over prepared (heated clothing, etc.).. Then the last 500 miles I really wondered if we were going to make it back (weather changed). But a trip we'll never forget. BTW - we've always made it back. 😃 Have fun.
@@toddkedzie6587- I thought it was necessary for night riding in San Diego, much less Alaska. You can ride all night if your hands and knee stay warm.
Ah yes, that road isn’t any different now than it was 25 years ago. It gets graded usually in the spring and by fall it’s washboard again. You must visit the other Grand Marais on the north shore of Superior in MN. Stop at Sven and Ole’s pizza. In Munising there used to be neat old restaurant The Dog Patch with the theme of the L’il Abner comic strip. Food is ok the ambiance is more interesting. You’re probably well west of there now. The area around the Apostle Islands deserves some time too.
Very nice video 😊👍
have yous had any bears come in and check out your camp yet , keep a eye on jetty at night when you let her out , we had a couple bears come in looking for food last time we were up there camping in about the same area as your at
I love going to the U.P. from lower MI but guys I’ll be honest with ya…… I’d think about getting the hell out of dodge or you’ll be shoveling snow.
Bahahaha, yep!!!! Welcome to Michigan!!!!! UP, that is!!!!!!
Only 311 inches ????
👍
Did you notice the Shorebreak it’ falls faster because it’s fresh Water . . It’s a totally different wave it’s lighter in volume . Or maybe it’s just my imagination . but to watch the ocean waves they fall slower because its thicker than fresh . water. . Let me know if it’s my imagination of what I seen ?
👍👍👍👍👍
2nd yeahhhh
And 3rd oyeahhhh
👍
have we seen you fishing before? pretty lake, no fishin'?
one thing about the UP it's slap or freeze..
First yeahhhhh
When is the boat going to be done??
Is that Grand Sable Lake?
You guys coming back through texsas?
Non-American ignoramus here: why do all the trees look dead at your last campground (approx 16:00 onwards), and environs? You were saying Michigan Department of Natural Resources are doing a great job preserving their beautiful state and I'm thinking "It's dead or dying, not sure I would stay there - I might not wake up in the morning"
I did a search for The Teenie Weenies and found a sample of the comic. CZcams would not allow a link to that page, strangely enough.
OK check this , I watch a lot of CZcams's and have witnessed this guy "aquachigger" slowly drift down creeks and rivers, picking up all sorts of items one of which are these little watertight cameras particularly on the stretches of rapid using his own camera while picking up other folks camera etc. Etc. always checking for battery he finds them years later, working and tries to return them but not always successfully I've seen unopened beer expensive sunglasses, fishing gear real fun.
