Michigan Where the pavement ends and the adventures begin

04/13/2026

My Co-pilot Lily and I did a little off the pavement exploring today but nothing special to share today. Next time we’re going to push our way out further from our normal. Until then enjoy this beautiful weather (temperatures) and stay safe during the upcoming storms. 🫡🇺🇸

My partner and I got to do some more exploring off the pavement today and found “Joy” 😎 Lily wasn’t that interested until we came upon the horses at the farm. 🐶

Out on the dirt road today and got flagged down by another driver who alerted me a large gathering of Michigan deer up the road. I had Lily with me 🐶 and when she barked at them they froze and then took off. Must have been a baker’s dozen out in the field. The big red barn was directly on the other side of the road. 😎

Out on the dirt road near our home today and pulled over to get this shot. It was private property so I couldn’t take a hike out into the field for a closer look. That’s a whole lot of Michigan deer 🦌 out there. 😎

I've always admired this location on my drives. Although it's on the pavement, it was time to share it with you all. The weather here is finally starting to come out of the sub-zero cold 🥶, so hopefully some of my “off-road” locations will finally be ice-free.

Off the pavement today for a peaceful drive through the local Michigan countryside. No cold or snow ❄️ is going to stop me from capturing this awesome scenery. 🥶😎

Sometimes even the dirt runs out and you have to set a new course. 😱😎

A couple of old barns I saw while off the pavement and kicking up some dirt. 😎
