Been out in the allegan woods two weekends in a row and didn't see a single jeep; just a lot of dinky SUVs that needed pulled out .
Few of the puddles out there were deep enough that I was scrapping my bumper climbing out and my hitch sliding in.

You generally hang-out above or below the dam or both? I'm surprised at how much snow is still back there.

Yeah, that's north of the dam. I know where your talking about: lots of blown up TVs and shotgun shells . You have to leave the woods to cross the Allegan Dam but there is a lot more down there. Still pretty tame but new. Last weekend I hopped on a snowmobile trail, one of those ones that like 100+ft wide) and blasted down for a few miles at about 35mph!
