Check back with me at the end of July and I'll give you the scoop but everything I've read sounds like it is very well organized (maybe too well organized-ha)
If you want to stop here (or actually my new place) on the way up you are welcome. Buffalo is about 3.5 hours drive from here. There are a few warmshowers hosts in Buffalo where you can leave your car. Albion is an easy afternoon ride from there. There a miserable but clean little motel there.
