Southeastern Ohio like south of Zanesville and around the Hocking Hills area. It is still close enough for you Cincinnati and Columbus guys to come if most of us come all the way from the Cleveland area.

Where in Michigan are you coming from? I'm in Toledo and was contemplating coming down for this depending on the final date.

If you can manage it in google maps, do you think you could draw up the route your are thinking of? I know you have mentioned a few options, and I'd like to show everyone what we'll be traversing.

I was just looking at that. There are a lot of great roads in the area. I am just trying to link the really good ones that I know of without making it so long that it becomes overwhelming. With most everyone driving over 2 1/2 hours just to get down there, I do not want to make it so long that it is not fun anymore. I will be consulting with my brother who knows the area better than I. We might even want to use his home as the starting and ending point. He has a big place with plenty of parking and would be willing to host a cook out after the run if the group is about the same size as the last one in the fall.

I would have absolutely no problem starting at your brother's place. I usually plan to meet around lunchtime and be headed home around 4-4:30 (in time for dinner), if that gives you a frame of reference. I may or may not be able to stay for the cookout, so wrapping it up and heading home by 4 would be ideal for me.

I'll have to check some schedules, June is a busy month. But I definitely want to do it again.

I am coming from just north of Detroit in Troy Michigan.

Lytheum 04-18-2014 10:14 PM

Voting for the 28th right now. Gonna be in myrtle beach 7-14th.

00NissanNinja 04-18-2014 10:22 PM

Being new to Ohio I'd like to see what roads you have to offer. I'm in on any of those days, as long as I haven't flown back to CO. I've been itching to give this car a little workout.

HunterGreene 04-21-2014 09:46 AM

So As of right now, I actually will be busy the weekend of the 14th as well, so its going to be the 1st or 28th for me.

I was checking out the routes that I would like to propose but they look to be too long if done in one day. Therefore, going to have to divid it up and save part of it for later. I have messed with Google Maps trying to lay out the route. It is a bit of a pain or I just suck at it but I will have something for everyone to look at in a few days. Then options can be discussed and adjustments made.

Here is the first proposal for the Early Summer route. I tried to make it interesting and include some good roads without making it so long that folks would want to bail early after their long drives to get down there. The route is currently 2 hours and 44 minutes long. I plan on pre-running it before the selected date. Discuss.
