Cool Russ, glad you're coming!! The island tour sounds fantastic but I think it's a little far for this trip. Def something to consider tho. Can you belive I grew up in northern Ohio and have never been to the Islands

Hello:

blizzard ridge · 09-03-2011, 09:40 AM

I live in the Hocking Hills would you mind if I joined in if you do the Hocking Hills Cruise?

IROCanSS · 09-03-2011, 10:02 AM

blizzard ridge... welcome! It looks like Hocking is out this year. We have been the last two years... You are more than welcome to come along on whatever we do though.

masterwinning · 09-03-2011, 01:24 PM

Hey Jason, can I borrow one of your Camaros, it seems mine is having some issues right now? I promise not to jump it any higher then I jumped mine.

IROCanSS · 09-03-2011, 01:53 PM

You will have it back good as new by the 22nd!

So, I took the ideas posted so far and mapped out a tentative route. Take a look and let me know.

I think Grimes Field in Urbana would be a good place for everyone to meet. There is plenty of parking and a small restaurant if anyone wanted to get breakfast. Also there is a museum with a restoration of a B-17 in progress if anyone is interested. The museum opens at 10:00.
We could plan to leave Grimes at 11:00 tour the bridges, caverns, etc. and get a meal at Der Dutchman around 3:30 or 4:00.

I don't think we can make it to Olentangy Indian Caverns unless we change the routing since they close at 5:00.

Added a link to the map.

I'm not getting a good feeling, when the service advisor asked me what the hell I did, and he seemed pretty shocked. I am going to push the issue to get a Camaro or Vette as my rental, that way I can still play with my friends.

IROCanSS · 09-03-2011, 09:11 PM

Not a chance you'll get a Vette

even a Camaro is a stretch. You'll be in a Cruze or Malibu.

masterwinning · 09-03-2011, 09:42 PM

I can jump one of those as well. There is a clause in my insurance about a like vehicle and it gave an example, I am having trouble finding that paperwork now. It was something along the lines of same year or newer, and same model. I have the highest level of rental they offer, it goes no rental, and then three levels, I have the high one. So I better get something cool.

Are those township & county roads paved or gravel surface?

Good question. Hopefully wwddnnone will let us know. I wouldn't want to drive any gravel or freshly tarred & graveled roads. Some roads near my home have been recently tarred & graveled so I've been avoiding them.

These roads are all paved or some form of tar & chip that has been down for a while. With the cooler temps in late October, I don't think there will be a problem. Some of the roads tend to be narrow and we will have to watch traffic, but again nothing that will be a problem.

Any feedback on the route itself? Do we want to take out one of the cavern stops?

Once we finalize the route, I will pre-run it again to make sure there aren't any surprises.
