Location
A few meters off of a trail in the Upper Macatawa Natural Area, near Zeeland MI.

Plans
The hashpoint is only about a 25-minute drive west of my partners’ apartment in Wyoming, and I was already driving out here on Friday night to visit them. So I planned on passing their exit and visiting the hashpoint, then stopping at a grocery store on my way back to their apartment to bring them some requested turkey bacon.
Expedition
I was able to reach the Upper Macatawa Natural Area parking by car without issue, and I didn’t even stop along the way for anything. (I usually have to stop about an hour into a drive for some reason, but I was able to drive about 2.5 hours without a break.) Then I walked along the trail to the hashpoint and back.
When I returned to my car, I looked up the nearest Kroger locations, only to find that Kroger isn’t a thing in west Michigan, so I was unable to acquire the requested turkey bacon. Also, I splashed in a mud puddle on my drive back out to the main road so I now need to wash my car again.
