Following the tour, we'll make our way through Saginaw County and back towards Lansing, on some of the better, more scenic back roads that only the locals know.
The schedule is flexible, and we might find some other interesting sites and stops through the weekend. Bring your GMRS/FRS radios, some lawn chairs, and pack a cooler for the picnic on Saturday!
Please let me know if you are coming, so that I can put in the reservation for the restaurant. You will need to contact the hotel to make your reservation.
Again, we meet at the Ace Hardware in Haslett/Bath on old M78 and leave on May 10th at 10 AM. If you can't make it that early, you are welcome to plot an intercept course and catch us anywhere along the route.
