Written Directions

The best place to pick it up is New Buffalo, MI goes right through it. New Buffalo is a great town just off Lake Michigan and is less than 2 hours from Chicago. You can pick up route 12 in Chicago as well.

Scenery

Nice rolling open country roads, some small towns, but not too many to kill the ride.

Drive Enjoyment

Road quality was very good when I last road it last summer '07. Will be riding it again in a few weeks.

Tourism Opportunities

Enough places to stop along the way for most anything. Also, Dearborn, MI is home to the Ford museum. This is where Henry Ford moved Thomas A. Edison's Menlo Park, NJ lab to as a tribute to his friend.

Take the US-12 route it is awesome. Just don't stop in Jonesville. Not a very friendly town for bikes and bikers

Picked this road up at Sturgis, MI and rode it to I-94 at the western end of this route as described. Lovely, mostly tree lined road which was a nice respite on a rather warm summer day. Only downside were a lot of side roads with 4 wheelers running up to Hwy 12 at what seemed a breakneck pace (guessing their brakes need done about every 20,000).
