In the a.m. you may store bags in the back of room 331

11:15 pack up cars (Kieser and Gaffney) and leave…get a quick lunch before we go!
Halfway up we’ll stop for rest break. Hopefully we can do the trip with only one stop! 
3:30 – go to hotel first to change, unload stuff
4:00 – go to course for pre-meet routine
Order dinner on the way to course so its ready when we are on the way back to hotel. Eat, clean up, then sometime in the p.m. – annual shirt making adventure.

I-94 west for about 45 minutes
*hotel is off exit 80 – turn right then left to Best Western

Right on Romence for about 2 miles – you will see course on left. Turn left on Moors Bridge and pray for a parking spot – its tough to find!
