Default Traveling through MI - which MPSCS Towers?

I will be traveling to Traverse City from Cleveland, and plan on monitoring MPSCS with my PSR-500.

The general route from Toledo onward will be through:
Ann Arbor
Flint
Saginaw
West Branch
Grayling
Traverse City

Basically, Rt 23 up to I-75.

Question: can someone recommend the tower sites I'd need to program to generally get continuous coverage on the trip? Ideally I'd like for this to fit into 1 TSYS, but I know that may not be possible.

I looked at the MPSCS system, but not being familiar with Michigan and all the towns, and the distance between sites...not sure what to focus on.

Thanks in advance!

The 2nd map helps, thanks.

The "RR Locations" link for MPSCS doesn't look complete - only 11 sites are shown:

Rob, do you know who created that map, and if there are any plans to update it?
