Guys my wife takes some great photos. I would love for her to take a group photo if no one objects. She make us move our cars around a few times though.

Somewhere along 26, there is an area you can pull off next to an old covered bridge that has been decommissioned. Don't ask me where, I don't remember. You should know it when you see it, though. Might be a good place for a group shot with all the cars.

Great idea thanks. We will be on the lookout for it.

I'll probably do the same... bringing along my Canon 5D MkII for the occasion.

We should also probably do the order by experience - those that haven't ever done the route should likely be in the middle, towards the back - to model after those in the lead (I've never been down the 555, I certainly shouldn't be leading!)

Sounds like a meeting prior to going is a must. I have never driven this road either. I have driven lots of roads similar by myself and not with other cars.
I think as long as we don't become self inflicted racers and follow what we feel is the best protocol we should be just fine.

Exactly - I've been riding with several groups of motorcycles in the past, and the events where everyone has fun are the ones where the experienced watch out for and be a role model for the other first/second timers. We are there to enjoy the ride and the cars, not set lap times

<Not sure about anyone else but I've had mine for 6 months, and have been pulled over twice, with warnings for things each time. The car can be a cop magnet, and I don't drive that ridiculously.... most of the time >

LOL.... I have had mine just over a year. I only have about 8400 miles on her though. I have not been pulled over yet "Knock on Wood".

Hummmm Cop magnet? The Salesman told me it was a "Chick Magnet" Either way I'm sure my wife wouldn't appreciate either one.

Found one! Its on Route 26, Here's a link to the streetview. Its not the one I was thinking of, but its a good spot if you go through the bridge (this one can take the weight of a car at a time, I would think ). Just zoom into street view at the intersection of Smith Road

And then I found the Actual one! Its called the Knowlton Covered Bridge, and its a short jaunt off 26 ("Township Highway" 384 or something) You can miss it if you aren't looking for it. Here is the link!:

Actually, to make it even easier, he is the Streetview. Even has the sign!

Haha, I've had comments from two women on the car.... one was my mother (she called it "cute", bless her heart) and the other was a bartender at one of the local bars, and drives a FR-S Otherwise it mostly just attracts comments from dudes asking if it's fast, or how much horsepower it has. I love Ohio.
