SZ 2009 Friday cruise directions

It's just that I've seen Mapquest use route numbers that are no longer posted. Google Maps is very highly up-to-date. That's all :shrug:
 
can't see the doc at work.
I'll be in mental anguish for the next four or five hours till I have the info :eek:

The GPS will be good to get a general idea of where you are, but the cruise is taking a scenic route.
The GPS is more likely to make you take the quickest route, which may not coincide with the cruise route.

I'm not saying don't have your GPS unit handy, but don't rely on it too much if you're trying to keep up with the rest of the group. It may lead you astray.

The good thing about using the GPS is that if you lose the group. You can point yourself toward the stopping points and head directly there to meet up with everyone.

links to the stops per Mark's post:
We'll be leaving around noon and will end up in South Haven for pics at the beach then we'll head up to Clementine's for a late lunch (probably around 3ish) and then from South Haven we'll cruise to Paw Paw, MI and grab ice cream at The Sugar Bear.
