Otsego Township is lanes and woodlots and farm ground running west toward the Allegan State Game Area, where houses sit far apart and the wind has room to work. Bilodeau Brothers Property Management looks after whole properties out here rather than single chores — mowing and trimming in season, cleanups spring and fall, then plowing, clearing and salt once the lanes fill in. A long gravel drive opened wide, road to garage door, is a satisfying thing to leave behind you. Being spread out means starting early and keeping a tight order to the day, and that is how the routes are built. Otsego, Plainwell, Martin and the township roads between them get the same early start.
