Which two nights? Friday night in St. Ignace for anyone who wanted to join us was in the initial post to this thread. Its called the Village Inn. Thursday night in Davison I was thinking of a little local place called Scotti's for us to get Gene a coney dog. I taste tested them this past week and it was good.Quote:

Depending on how the Village Inn was on Friday, I was thinking of eating there Saturday night as well. The menu looks good and has a nice variety. However, as Debbie stated in one of her posts, we are doing things in a relaxed manner with no strict itinerary. If you (or I) felt like eating McDonalds on Saturday night while others found someplace else, that would be fine. Last time we did this event, the hotel owners let people use their BBQ grill and cook burgers, dogs, steaks, etc. on Saturday so that is another option if anyone wanted to buy a few groceries and cook out.Quote:

EDIT: After going through his Facebook page, I am officially going to eat at the Bridgeview Diner on Saturday.
Dinner sounds good,as long as it isn't too late! :2thumbs: Would love to see you all again. Sounds like fun...Quote:

I have been following the thread all week didn't want to but in but . If your looking for a place to eat on Sat. in Newberry check out Tmber Charlies just as your coming into town on 123 cross the tracks and look right.
On Sat. evening dinner the Mackinaw Grill is great for a sit down but for the best burger in the State go to Clydes Drive Inn just west of the Bridge on 2, Big C burger is a must for the "hearty" eater.
i was also told that timber charlies was a good place to eat.......just 2centsQuote:

Who were you meeting? Our group isn't going through Grayling but we are going through Tawas.Quote:

Tomorrow morning is the big day. Headed north cannot get there soon enough------ITS CONEY DOG TIME.
Will someone remind me ----"don't look down":yikes: when we go over the Mackinaw bridge.
See "use" guys Friday.
Checked the Michigan weather and its in the 60's at night and almost 80 during the day.
Good planning DEB.
Looking down while riding over the grating on the bridge is part of the excitement. :2thumbs: It almost disappears when you're going 40mph. :yikes:Quote:

Game plan is :
Spend Wednesday night in Saint Joesph. Take a leisurely ride up the west cost until Flint is due East then take all back roads to Davidson arrive around noon.
I am ready -----packed and loaded the Spyder this afternoon.
Now I am just watching the clock.
I can not wait for everyone to get here and then the ride north. I get home from work Thurs. morning about 10:30 am I plan on doing my workout and then taking a little nap so I can meet everyone for dinner Thurs night. If it isn't too late and the weather is good, we can all come back to the house for a Bon Fire that evening to relax before the morning ride. The weather has been great, not too hot during the day and great sleeping weather at night. We have had some rain but I do believe by the weekend and then heading north we are going to be missing anything else. I so need a trip with no rain.

:yes:
Gene what "back road" are you planning on taking to Flint? Leonard Street is a beautiful ride from the lake shore to the Grand Rapids area. Grand River Dr./Riverview Dr. are really nice from GR to Ionia. M-21 isn't bad from Ionia to the greater Flint area. And be sure to plug DAVISON in your GPS not Davidson or you may never get to the right place. If you are coming anywhere near Lowell we'd love to have you stop by for lunch or a refreshment of your choice. We are two hours to Davison via the expressway. My cell is 616-340-9895.Quote:
