If Hines Drive(Plymouth, MI) is ever not flooded its a nice cruise with very few traffic lights. But be careful the speed limit is 35 and cops are usually around. North Territorial is a good one too. If you make it out near Plymouth, PM me I am always down for a trip in the Vette. Enjoy.

Yes it still happens mid October and the last ride of the year. Last year it was cancelled do to rain! Below are a few links in the Great Lakes Region section. Monitor that section and you will find information in the future on the 2019 Fall Colors Tour!

Don't forget the eastside areas of the Motor City suburbs......................
M29 from 23 Mile Road along lake St. Clair up past Algonac and Marysville.................
M53 (not the freeway) from anywhere north of 26 Mile Road well past Imlay City area (I-69)..................
Orion Road north off of Rochester Road, traveling north through the Oxford area........................
all scenic drives, twisty roads, and places to stop

Rochester Road up to Almont/Imlay is not a bad drive. Once you get past 36 mile it gets pretty nice up.

Well if you are ever further east and north. Try, M-136 (Beard Rd.) by Mill Creek/Black River is very curvy and has hills. But they kind of went thru the hills and next to the water. On the map it does not look that curvy at all. But on one of the curves they recommend you slow to 25mph most are 35mph down from 55mph. This is would be coming from west going east toward Wildcat Rd. On the corner of M-136 and Wildcat is the Dorsey house. Good food at reasonable prices. Since the map does not show how snaky the road is I will have to use the Vettes PVR to record and post it. Have to learn how to use it. That is after my new wheels and tire come in, in the next few weeks.

Every summer our local group of vettes always do the following route, ending up at the Zukey lake Tavern for lunch on the deck overlooking the lake.
We start off cruising through W Huron River dr as soon as you exit at the Ann Arbor Exit off M14/23, its a sharp right
Cruise through the woods and along the river all the way to North Territorial. Make a left.
North Territorial to Hankerd - Turn Right
Hankerd turns into Glenbrook, then to Patterson Lake - Turn Right
Paterson lake to Dexter Pinkney - Turn Left
Dexter Pinkney to Main St - Turn Right
Main St to Girard - Turn Right
Then turn into parking lot for Zukey Lake. It's a 30.7 mile route, approx. 49 min.
