Well, I'll plan on being there at that time for all who need some assistance finding the place. I'll probably get tehre a little before 1 and pull out around 1:15. This should give everyone a few minutes to gas up, use the facilities if need be, etc.
Echo Valley is only 10 minutes or so from there.

Well, I hav come only one way from windsor, and that is the bridge. As soon as you come across there is a sign for I-94. Follow it west for about 120 miles to exit 85. There is a big Shell station with a BK in it, and a McDonalds right there at the exit. Can't miss it.

At least thats how I remember it from about 15 years ago as far as coming from GR, I am not sure you're best route. It's kind of in the country between galesburg and kalamazoo. The 3 ways I know to lead you that way are from Sprinkle Rd in kalamazoo, I-94, or G Dr.
Best bet might be to run a mapquest on it...

Here's directions from their site.. www.echovalleyfun.com
From the East (Detroit, Jackson):
I-94 west to exit #85 (35th St.) Turn right on 35th St. to the 3rd stoplight (M-96). Turn left on M-96 to 33rd St. Turn right on 33rd St. to H Ave. Turn left on H Ave. Echo Valley is on the right hand side, 1 mile down the road.
From the West (Chicago, Benton Harbor):
Take I-94 to exit #80 (Sprinkle Road). Turn left on Sprinkle Road. Take Sprinkle to the 9th stoplight (H Ave). Turn right on H Ave. Echo Valley is on the left, 3 miles down the road.
From the North (Grand Rapids):
Take US-131 south the Plainwell exit (M-89 east). Follow M-89 into Richland (12 miles). Continue straight through the stoplight in Richland. Turn right on H Ave. Echo Valley is 1 mile down the road, on the right.
From the South (Indianapolis):
Take US-131 north to I-94 east to exit 80 (Sprinkle Road). Turn left on Sprinkle to the 9th stoplight (H Ave.) Turn right on H Ave. Echo Valley is on the left, 3 miles down the road.
The first set of directions is what we will be taking from that truck stop at exit 85.
Jacob, you're best bet will probably be to come down I-69 from Lansing to I-94 and then head west.
