Updated – Northeast Michigan Drive Tour – June 14th
Update: A few of us are booking a room at the Fairfield Inn in Gaylord for Friday evening. If anyone is interested in the Fairfield, here is the link.

If you have any questions, you can call or text me – Joe Lavender (Check your email for contact info)
