Directions from GV

All I do these days is work at night and sleep during the day, so when Rachel and Markus offered to pick me up on Friday, spend the night in Rachel's hometown and spend Saturday at Splash Village in Frankenmuth, I asked a co-worker to switch me hours right away. I'm excited- I really need a bit of fun. These are the directions that I gave them:

134 mi – about 2 hours 25 mins

Fun fact: You're going to cross Grand River a ton of times. It follows me almost all the way home. Road trip game: Count the number of times you cross it.

1. Head northeast on Campus Dr 0.1 mi
2. Turn right at S Campus Dr 0.8 mi
3. Turn right at Lake Michigan Dr/M-45 9.4 mi
4. Merge onto I-196 E via the ramp to Lansing 5.9 mi
5. Merge onto I-96 E 68.7 mi. I highly recommend stopping in Portland, exit 77 Grand River Ave. for any bathroom needs. Very clean bathrooms. This is the longest leg of the trip. Road trip game: Should Megan cut her hair chin length again, or grow it out? Discuss.
6. Take exit 106A to merge onto US-127 S toward Jackson 29.4 mi. A little more than an hour left!
7. Take the exit onto I-94 E toward Detroit 3.6 mi. You'll go under a bridge and the exit is just yards past it. I think this ramp is annoying. It feels too short.
8. Take exit 142 to merge onto US-127 S toward Hudson 11.3 mi Art Moehn Chevorlet is on the left a little before this exit. That's where my dad worked for about 6 months my freshman year. ...Isn't this tour fun?
9. Turn left at Jefferson Rd 2.6 mi. It's a stoplight. Gas station on the corner. Jefferson road is where I hit a deer last year on Thanksgiving weekend. Please don't hit a deer. It isn't fun.
10. Turn right at Hayes Rd 1.8 mi. St. Rita's church will be on the corner. That's where my sister and I went to catechism class. You'll pass through Clark Lake golf course where my sister had golf practice in high school. She was MVP of the varsity team her freshman year. She and
Dad really enjoy the sport. Mom and I don't have the patience for it and get bored. Isn't this entertaining to learn? There will be a quiz.
11. Turn left at Somerset Dr 0.6 mi. A yellow house with green shutters will be on on the corner. I know that it sounds pretty, but it definitely isn't.
12. Turn left at Archwood Ln 472 ft. It's a dirt road. If you don't find it right away keep going. People always call me thinking they must have already gone the 0.6 miles but they have not. The street sign is usually blocked by a pine tree.
13. Turn left at Archwood Circle. The road is a literal circle and we're directly on the other side so if you want to turn right that's ok too. I enjoy switching it up.

140 Archwood Cir Brooklyn, MI 49230
Left of a shared driveway, tall gray house.
