Hello all,
My name is Dan aka Excelagator on the Midwest Xterra Owners website, The link to that website is
http://midwestxterraowners.com/nuke/forums/index.php? Once a year we gather and have what we call "Midwest Xterra Gathering, or the short version MXG. MXG link for this year's info:
http://www.midwestxterraowners.com/huron.htm. We pick a remote area somewhere in the Midwest to camp
, talk smart around the campfire
, and of course wheeling
. Yes we are a Xterra/Nissan based club, but we do enjoy wheeling with other makes and models. We are a friendly based club and familys are always welcome. All that is required is light hearted attitude and a smile. opps a 4x4 also.
This year MXG is to be held in Upper Michigan, The town is Big Bay just 30ish miles north of Marquette, Mi on the shores of Lake Superior. The area we wheel is roughly 26 by 30 miles of seasonal roads to rock/boulder litter trails. It is very easy to get lost and compasses do not work and because of the high iron in the area. We suggest having GPS on-board or following another person that has one. Because of the vastness of the area some members have on-board GPS/laptop live mapping.
If you have any further questions on this gathering. You can post here also

Below are some pics from previous trips to the area.
Sincerely, Dan (Excelagator)
