Sunday October 10th. Rain or Shine the WMMC is having a 1-day color tour. Departure time is 10am sharp, from the parking lot beside the Firestone Service Center on Plainfield Ave NE, in front of the Devon Self Storage (this used to be Kmart at the south end besides Lowe’s. The address is 4111 Plainfield Ave. NE Grand Rapids 49525. From there we will head north through Kent County and into Newago County. There will be a 30-minute stop at a rustic rest area and scenic overlook on M82. From there we will continue up and around Croton Hardy Dam. For those that wish to we are planning a stop for lunch at Northern Trails Restaurant on M82. Shooting for a 1pm arrival. If you want more of a rustic feel for lunch there are a couple of roadside parks along the last 15 minutes of our planned route.
Because of current staffing issues at the restaurant (as with most in our state) the restaurant has asked that we pick only 6 entrees from their menu for a group our size. Please RSVP via email your choice of meal and the number in your car going on the trip to Dave Dunn at thunder1992@att.net. by SEPTEMBER 27TH. Please keep in mind that we will be selecting the top 6 choices so it is possible your selection may not be one of the 6. We will let everyone know before the 1st of October what the entrée selections will be. You can also choose to travel into Newago, about a 15-minute drive for another restaurant or do a picnic lunch.
We are also trying to line up an ice cream stop after lunch somewhere back towards Grand Rapids. Most places are closing before our trip but we will keep trying to find one.
The colors should be at peak that weekend and the route I have picked should be very enjoyable for both scenery and driving. Please join us for this day out with your fellow club members.
Any questions please contact Dave Dunn at thunder1992@att.net
