    Today wasn't as good of a day as the previous two days and the pictures reflect that. Not complaining, still very thankful for being able to have vacation in such a beautiful place. I much prefer Superior shoreline and the surrounding areas more so than lake Michigan shoreline and surrounding areas. Part of the reason today wasn't as good as the others as there was a hellacious hatch of some sort of bug. The picture of the building I'm going to post is not a dirty or moss covered building, it is all bugs! @SRH also, @sparkystaco I'm not going to put coordinates for all the pictures but the one bridge is the Mackinac bridge, the green bridge is the cut River bridge, and if you want to know where any of the other pictures where I will gladly post up a coordinate
    20230518_114913~2.jpg 20230518_130430~2.jpg 20230518_131223~2.jpg 20230518_131124~2.jpg 20230518_135505~2.jpg 20230518_135612~2.jpg 20230518_141028~2.jpg 20230518_144359~2.jpg 20230518_153435~2.jpg 20230518_163123~2.jpg 20230518_164331~2.jpg

    Whoever was in charge of building this bridge had a sense of humor, this door had a very medieval look to it and the name tag on the door that people so nicely graffitied says "T Troll"

    It's disappointing that they're putting Bro lights on them at the factory. Hopefully they can be turned off or removed easily.

    Otherwise, I'm a little indifferent on it. I'm hoping it looks better in person.

    Edit: I'm definitely liking the option of a turbo 4 with a manual transmission. That's (manual transmission) one thing about the Taco that I really wish the 4Runner still offered.

    Make sure it's a refund and not a credit.

    We call them bay flies harmless but a mess,
    Short story; I was 15 just got my temps, dad let me drive from I think Manistique as we got closer to the bridge I kept mentioning it to my dad thinking he would take over to cross the bridge, but no in his twisted sense of humor he made me drive over the bridge while pointing out all the sites, I was almost in panic mode by the middle but made it, not a half mile off the bridge pops say pull over I'll drive, we were taking my sister to college down state, I think that was the only time I drove on that trip.


    I know the cut river bridge but we never stopped there.

    I wonder if those are the same things that I've seen hatching on Columbia lake. At certain times of the year, the shoreline rocks, and the first few feet of the water would be coated with them. I have pictures. I have to check!

    I wouldn't say bridges scare me, but they definitely get my full attention when I'm driving lol. Well the bay flies were absolutely horrendous

    Hey everyone with a winch,

    What you running for a synthetic line? Size, limit etc. I have probably asked this before, but I didn't get to the replacement of my wire winch line before Moab, so its on my mind now. Not impressed with some of the prices I am seeing... Especially when I see ones that are getting good reviews from tree service guys for a fourth the cost... Just wondering what my group suggests and why.

    It was dark, but here's a screenshot of a rock sticking out of the water at shore. You can't even see through the flies. And, you can see them in the water, also.

    I'm no help, but curious as well. I'd love to get a spare line for mine just in case. But, the OEM replacement is not cheap!
