So being that the major consensus is to break this drive up into two days, I've updated the map to be a little more scenic:

So which side is the most scenic? West along Lake Michigan or the East side towards Detroit?

I can't speak to that, but I expect the west side to be better (tunnel of trees), though I hear that the east side is just as good.

The first prediction is in:

http://k1025.com/2018-michigan-fall-fol ... edictions/

TLDR October 6th will mark the beginning of the peak colors for northern MI, and will be be done by the 19th.

So fair to say, tentatively plan on 12-14th of October for this event. I'll keep watch for any updates, I would need to finalize the date by mid September to make sure I get the time off.

Those dates, if they hold, would be perfect. The week before, my boss is going on vacation, and is not thrilled with the idea of me taking time off again while he's gone (as this happened in June). So, hopefully this holds out.

I will finalize the dates on September 17th. For now, Northern MI is on track for the weekend of 12-14.

In the meantime, I need to figure out how I'm going to get a supercharged car running in time for this event!

I'm locking in the weekend of the 12-14th. I put my time off in.

We are working out logistics (baby-sitter and dog-sitter) still. Either way we will make this a Friday-Saturday-Sunday event, just have to hash out the route to work around our schedule.

One alternate option is to meet up at my place Friday for beer and chili and bonfire, cruise the route up Saturday and back Sunday.
