We went up to Old Orogrande (not too far from the present town of Orogrande) to see the total destruction made by the forest fire (it was in the middle of September). Pictures don't do it justice, not a green blade of grass anywhere. There were some outbuildings that burned, but no homes were lost.

Notice the cement picnic table in the center of the picture. This was Orogrande campground #1. They had already started to clear out the debris.

The fire got so hot that aluminum melted into a pool on the ground. The melting point for aluminum is 1,221 degrees.

This picture was what the hotel looked like before the fire.

This is where the old hotel once stood.

This picture of the hotel was taken July 12, 1912.

This road ends up at Wildhorse lake and Campground, and then a wheeler trail ends up at Hump lake.

I would be interested in seeing what it would look like at the end of next summer. Thanks for sharing.

LandofCheese - you need to go just north of you into Marinette and Florence counties - there are shared snowmobile / ATV trails all over those counties. A couple of times now my group has drove up to the town of Florence and stayed at the Keys Lake Campground then rode all over those two counties as well as back into the U.P. of Michigan. Interesting that you can be in the middle of nowhere and you come across a bar with a gas pump out front. If you go, be sure to find your way to Jungle Jim's Bar for some of the best pit bar-b-que I've had north of Tennessee! It's considered to be the town of Silver Cliff there.

The P5 got up, in and our for another day elk hunting. Dang zipper jammed on the driver-side sift door, that’s tomorrow’s project. I found an old shovel, cut down the wood shaft and stuck it in the Dusty Dawgs. When the doors are zipped closed the cab is comfortable from engine heat under the seat.

Sonetimes I forget these come shiny and clean!

No elk, btw.

Added another RotoPax container today. 1.75 gallons of water. Not needed now but will come in handy next summer. Same mounting setup as the RotoPax Fuel pack.
Really like the seat covers. Where did you get those?

I would have those things knocked off by a tree in about 20 minutes, or 2 beers. Whichever comes first.
Me too. Maybe 10 minutes and two beers for me :). I would still like to have a Roto Pax, mounted somewhere else.

The price and seat covers look great. They even have them in blue View attachment 361786. The dimensions of the seat backs, looks like they may be a little short. Obviously you were able to make them work. Was that any problem?

Thanks, Mike
Hey Mike. The back cover actually fits like a glove. The bottom fits well, just not perfect. Great ventilation. Liked them so much I bought a second set for when these wear out. ;) They were $26.00 when I got them.
