Hoping this is of some interest here. Pics from a trip to Drummond Island, MI; to explore Jeep / ORV trails on my 1992 GS.
Drummond Island is located about one mile off the eastern tip of the UP of MI. Easy directions: go north on I-75 across the Mackinaw Bridge, continue about another 10 miles north, then head 50 miles east.
Small selection of pics here:

More to come, in case any dualsporters are on the fence about a trip to this place. This is about half the good ones I got - I shot just over a dozen rolls. Rolleiflex, Widelux, and a $15 Argus that was made in Ann Arbor MI. I felt sort of like the Martian rover...
Maxton Plains was the coolest (road was just bare flat limestone across what looked like tundra), though I'm told Marblehead is pretty awesome as well.
Oh, and the Mackinaw City and Drummond Island infrastructure pics - I'm in a contest to spell out M-Riders using the first letter of town names. It's documented by photographs, and the prize is a belt buckle. Though the woman at the Mackinaw City Chamber of Commerce told me she hoped I'd win a new riding suit.... <wince>
