That's a good show but the same day as CTS, which is where I'll be.

[Marla]

Yes, same weekend as Bus's n Boats too. So, people have lots of options.

Only bad thing about being with all the cool kids at CTS is having to miss the MI Vintage Show almost every year.

The best way to get to Ypsi is typically via M23 going north. The BAD thing is the road is under construction both ways. I was up in MN for Easter and we took the Mitten route for a change of scenery.

The part of M23 Ohio north of Maumee before the border has some stuff being done. A bunch of the bridges crossing over M23 in Michigan are being replaced as well so there are intermittent lane closures and bottlenecks.


I80 also has construction in a few places as usual where the lanes go from 3 to 2 with some shoulder closures as well.

Don't forget I75 is under construction until hell freezes over due to the bridge replacement in Michigan south of Detroit, though that is probably not the best route to take anyways due to it being not far enough west.


I haven't asked around of Toledo/Michigan club folks and EMU friends to see how bad things are currently.

Oooh... but I love to see highway construction projects, I used to go out of my way to travel on I-280 when they were building the high level bridge (Veterans' Glass City Skyway) over the Maumee river, that was cool... I guess my idea of a scenic drive is a little different....

Because I'll never be that cool kid that gets to go to CTS....I guess I'll enjoy the Michigan show again this year.
If you are uncool like me and want to join a few of us other losers, we camp the evening before the show, then head out the morning to attend the show......

Ypsi forecast for sunday is 80% rain/tstorms all day long. My windshield leaks and my wipers are crap, but if the forecast changes I'm in too.
