Directions
from Hastings MI to the GTG Site
Direction start from the west side of
Hastings,MI from the intersections of M-37& M-43 (M37 runs from Battle Creek through
Hastings to Grand Rapids, M43 runs from Lansing through Hastings to Kalamazoo, MI) Take
M-43 South from the intersection of the 2 roads heading toward Kalamazoo, MI approx. 4.75
miles to the intersection of Tillotson Lk. Rd which is a "T.intersection"
Tillotson Lk. Rd. is a gravel road going East only. If your car doesn't like gravel like
mine I have a concrete drive with a rock on the left side as you enter off M-43
about 100yds north of the intersection of M-43 and Tillotson Lk. Rd. You
should be able to see a fold up sign by the entrance the says "MI GTG vw" You
can also turn left on Tillotson Lk. Rd and go 100 yards and you will see a white pole barn
on your left turn in that concrete drive. Park where you can the lawn is fair game! Use
the following phone numbers if you get lost and need help. My pager 616-212-0261 or
517-241-4570 also my cell phone 616-450-5406.

Food &
Beverages
On Sat we will have coffee/pop/Leamonaid and donuts
and bagels available at most times. We will have Gewilli chili for lunch and a dinner meal
in the late afternoon some time (time will be decided by general opinion). Dinner meal
will most likely go something like this. grilled burgers & brats & smoked sausage
& potato salad and baked beans and a fruit salad and a desert. On Sunday we should
have plenty of leftovers to do something like Sat or come up with some cold cuts for
sandwiches. The most famous "Gewilli Chili" which we have enjoyed at other GTG's
will be made by Gewilli and maybe MichTDI. Hmm I don't want to start anything here, but do
I see a little opportunity for say a contest for the best TDI chili? BYO alcoholic
beverages we will have a good BS session @ a bonfire after all the work on the cars gets
done. I will have a donations box in the TDI barn to cover food cost and expenses.
I will have a porta potty on site and please keep your fingers crossed for good weather. Between 2@2car garages and the barn we could handle 8-10 cars at once under cover even if it rains. But it will cramp our style.
Please sign Gewilli's guestbook
if possible so we can keep a head count going. This link can
be slow @ times
