16:20 - L303 approaching Okemos. L305 appears to be running around in Brighton.
I presume L305 had GLC work today, on account of GLC being southbound out of Durand at around 03:15 this morning.
For my own notes, GLC is again southbound from Durand at 18:10 this afternoon.

L305 left them all sit there this afternoon on their way back to Lansing.
