My Brother and I decided to go on a Spontaneously Generated Adventure to today's coordinates (N46°40.9222', W92°36.1336') since they were relatively nearby (within 45 minutes).
Google Maps told a bit of a fib about the existence of a road called Moorehead Road in the area. It turned out to be just a clearing for powerlines. We stashed the car in the brush and started hiking. It turned out to be a lot more Marsh than Woods and we got soggy feet pretty quickly and swarmed by buggs. We didn't make it all the way to the point (as we got closer it got more and more not-solid-ground-y) but came close. (46 40.812 -92 36.022)
