that would be correct.. Upper Peninsula of Michigan.. if you have never been there make it a point to get up there.. i want to do a bike trip up there before summer is over as well as a bike trip up to canada..
well last year i bought a 2004 expedition - not the best on gas.. about a month ago i put amsoil 0W20 full synthetic in it and a k&n air filter.. helped out big time.. went from 13.8mpg average on a decent road trip to 15.7mpg.. definitely spent some money in gas though.. $90 a fill up sucks ass but what are you going to do? even if you wanted to fly up there its cost prohibitive even more and still have to rent a car, etc. plus not too many airports in the middle of nowhere.. on the way back i went through some desolate parts of michigan i never saw - rode the coast of lake huron south and then west across the state - seriously for 2 hours there was absolutely nothing but empty fields..

yeah I was supposed to go there on my way back... but I would be too short on time... so I had to just head through chi.

yep - amsoil and the k&n filter - believe it, live it, love it.. its worth every fucking penny - if nothing else for less oil changes - change it now and wait 25,000 for the next change.. personally i don't live to change my fucking oil - its a pain in the ass - so the less i have to do it the better..
