Lodging: Country Inn and Suites Big Rapids is holding 5 double Queens and 5 King for us. The rate is $110 per night plus tax for either room. To get this rate call 231-527-9000 BEFORE September 13 and speak directly with the front desk rather than speaking to their reservations hotline. If you book elsewhere, request a “pet free” room. If you are traveling solo and want to share a room, email cgketchum@gmail.com I’ll coordinate.

Meals: Breakfast is included at the hotel. There are good lunch options in Reed City on day one, more limited lunch options in Howard for day two. Maybe have a trail lunch on day 3. Big Rapids has a number of dinner options.

Attractions on the way? Eiffel Tower in Paris. Send me your suggestions

Rain or Shine? The Country Inn allows cancellations up until 6pm 10/6. Hey, we never let a little rain stop us.
