Getting There…

This box is planted at the Michigan Welcome Center rest area located just inside the Michigan border along eastbound I-94. The nation’s first Highway Travel Information center opened on May 4, 1935, on US-12 at New Buffalo, not far from here. Other states followed Michigan’s lead, and by 1985 there were 251 travel information centers across the nation. The New Buffalo center was built by the Michigan State Highway Department, now the Michigan Department of Transportation, to welcome motorists entering the state via US-12. It was relocated at this site with its more modern building, on April 6, 1972, after the I-94 Freeway was completed.

Clues…

Six white poles to greet you
    As many to your right as left
A clump of stumps 25 ahead
    As 75 degrees you sight.
