Starting to plan a Spring or Mid-Summer (2016) RGB gtg

[Jim_75Sahara]

Guys:   I recently checked out Lake Hope State Park and the roads in the vicinity.  We could have a hell of a gtg using the cabins and camp grounds there for a Friday and Saturday night stay and a super nice drive on Saturday.  I stayed overnight at Kevin Funk's home in Shade, OH recently. He helped me to map out some likely routes.  Some of the roads (555 especially) are like the old "Wild Mouse" amusement park ride from my youth!  Hill hopping and off-camber turns, etc.  I located two wineries that we could check out on Friday, in fact the one would be great for a catered dinner and wine-tasting experience.  Kevin would be happy to help with more info on this area, since he was born and raised there.  Kfunk knows the roads very well.  The state park looks very nice, so I'd love to plan a gtg for you guys.  

 

 Tell me when is a good date for you?   Spring?  Mid-Summer?  Give me a date that works.  Thanks.  Suggestions are welcomed!

Jim,

 

Huh, nobody replied to this?

Did you post this on the RGB FB page too? 

Did it get any traction over there? (I'm not on FB anymore so I wouldn't know).

 

I'd be game whenever, but I have conflicts on the weekends now 7/31 to 8/22ish.

Wish I would've seen this earlier.

 

555 is a great road.  I forget what we took from Marietta to Athens, but I know it had 5 or 6 switchbacks in it and scarring the crap out of my friend driving his GTI.  If a winery didn't suit, could drive to Marietta, lots of options there, and come back on another route.

 

This would be a lot easier for me to make than the N.Kentucky runs.

Mark:

 

  I don't know why, but nobody's interested. I may do a two-car run with Kfunk!!
