I remember riding around Hocking Hills in my dads 68 mustang when I was in elementary school, great roads down there indeed! Good hiking and camping as well.

I'm down any time really but I need to fix my cosmetics first. Columbus motor speed way gave my front end a cosmetic mis-alignment.

I've been bugging my boss to go down to hocking hills some time. I dont know the area at all, never been, heard a lot about it though.

I've been to the dragon though and it was a lot of fun.

I'm not sure if i'd be in for this fall.

All i've got that would be ready for a drive like that would be the MX6, and the on/off power characteristics probably wouldn't make it a whole lot of fun.

Hows about we do a day up in on 78 and the surrounding area and while there we can brainstorm ideas for a Hocking Hills get together?

I don't want to steal a brothers thunder and undermine his run but I love driving backroads in very serious ways so I'm down as soon as we set a date!

Damn!!! I think we're scheduled to work the 20th.

Oh well, I probably won't have my car back together by then anway.

Maybe we could do a spring run, as well???

I'd say that you (referring to them) southern/eastern people have all the fun. Around here the only turn I see is a round-a-bout.

Yeah, we're pretty lucky. Until you're on one of our nice roads in a snowstorm... With morons and semis. And morons in semis.

All just to travel from SE Ohio to go sit on a beach on the shore of Lake Erie... In December.

Yep, we got it made up here.

I am resurecting this thread. I was talking with Steve (aussiesmg) about doing a drive this spring.

Any takers for a weekend in May?

I've always liked 22 from Cadiz to Cambridge. I take that whenever I drive home to Columbus from Pittsburgh. Always so pleasant, even in a 1995 Grand Marquis (working on that).

Yeah, Ohio State Highway Patrol are hardcore mfers. They don't put up with any E36 M3. The back roads are usually clear, just watch out for deputy dogs and Barney Fife types trying to meet their monthly quota.
