UPDATED!!! Ohio Route 555/26, October 20th 2013: Fall Colors Meet!!

Alright, as promised guys, here is the thread to organize and coordinate a trip down through Southeast Ohio during what will hopefully be peak color! As much fun was had during the July drive, this one will be cooler and a lot more colorful (both from a car and tree standpoint).

As of this point, I would like to meet up on SUNDAY, OCTOBER 20th. SINCE THE WEATHER IS FORECAST TO BE IFFY, AS PROMISED, WE ARE RAIN CHECKING TO SUNDAY

So, based on the trip I took with the Ohioscions.com group, here is what I am thinking:

Meet up at Salt Fork State Park, at the Lodge around 11 AM. Pack a lunch, I don't know if the lodge has any concessions to speak of.

We depart and head down to Route 26:
Salt Fork State Park to Marietta, OH

This is the part of the route that will be more picturesque, as well as covering a few of the more scenic covered bridges.

Then we head along the river for a short bit (a slight break), and pick up OH Route 555 up to Zanesville:
CORRECTED OH 555 MAP

We can always take a break between Marietta and the southern point of 555, we can decide on the road.

Total time from Salt Fork will be about 3-4 hours, depending on traffic. Plan for a full day of fun!

EDIT: THE FULL ROUTE FOR THE DAY!
