 So you want Newport road, just where it crosses the M-14 highway. 
 Just a wee bit north of the bridge is a little dirt road that slopes
 down to a little parking lot.  The walk meets there.  If you are 
 coming from the highway, note that there is no exit at Newport, just 
 at Main Street and at Maple and Miller.  Getting from Main to Huron 
 River Drive is a bit tricky.  Be alert.  Amateurs may do better 
 approaching Newport Road from Miller Road.  Occasionally the parking 
 lot gate is left locked.  Park at the school and walk across the 
 bridge.
