Location
On a dirt road south of Paw Paw.
Participants
Expedition
I looked at this hashpoint over breakfast, and it looked like it would probably be accessible. So, I got to the airport by about 8:30, and took Alaska Flight 686 to Chicago. Getting through Chicago at 5 p.m. on a Friday took quite a while, but I was able to catch I-94 just a few miles from O'Hare and follow it south around the southern end of Lake Michigan, through northwestern Indiana and then into the southwest of Michigan, almost stright to the hashpoint.
It was well into dusk when I took the exit for Michigan Highway 51, then followed a succession of increasingly minor farm roads until I got to 64th Avenue. I stopped the car, got out, and walked up onto the shoulder to catch the hashpoint itself. It was very peaceful and still. Definitely worth the trip.
