Work permitting, I hope to be able to join you.
=20
That area of Ohio is very familiar to me and I=E2=80=99ve spent a LOT of =
time around there over the past 40 years.
=20
So, I have to suggest/recommend Marietta as the overnight stop. Smaller =
town, but still a college town. Stay at the Lafayette Hotel and be with =
easy walking distance of a micro-brewery & restaurant, as well as =
several other bars & restaurants. Plenty of great roads in very close =
proximity to Marietta and pretty much zero traffic to contend with to =
get to them.
=20
We could run 555 from Zanesville to it=E2=80=99s end, at route 7. Then, =
west on 7 for a few miles, to Tuppers Plains. From there, 639(?) twists =
and plunges down to the (Ohio) river, then we could run rt. 124 back up =
almost to Marietta. I need to dig my DeLorme Atlas of Ohio out to be =
sure of all the route numbers.
=20
Athens is a bit too =E2=80=9Cbusy=E2=80=9D and =E2=80=9Cwoke=E2=80=9D =
for me. Marietta is still a small =E2=80=9Criver town=E2=80=9D and =
seems to run at a more relaxed pace. And there is a lot to be said for =
being able to walk between our hotel and a brewery, bars, restaurants, =
etc. rather than try to drive in an unfamiliar town.
=20
Whatever you guys decide to do, I=E2=80=99m sure it will be great fun =
and I hope my work schedule will let me join you.
=20
Thanks,
Bud

All

You have not heard much from me about a planned WPTA Summer trip to WV =
and VA. I=E2=80=99m writing to those who responded and our those who may =
be interested. And if I have left someone out please forward this and =
include them if you think they may be interested.
=20
I could not bring the WV and VA trip together for a lot of reasons but =
I=E2=80=99ve planned an alternative for August 18 and 19 much closer to =
home and one overnight stay.
=20
Ohio has Ohio 555 from Zanesville, OH south to the Ohio river and =
I=E2=80=99ve heard it=E2=80=99s a favorite of the Motorcycle crowd. =
Google Ohio 555 and you=E2=80=99ll find some good information about the =
Triple Nickel.
=20
Here=E2=80=99s my plan. We can all meet in Zanesville at 11:00 am on the =
18th and run 555 as far south as we want. I need to study the map a bit =
closer. Maybe Mapman aka Bruce can look at the route in detail with any =
suggestions as we will stay in Athens, OH overnight. Athens is a college =
town so it must have some decent bars for our after run Beer and Bull on =
the 18th. 555 does not go into Athens but we can cut off and go through =
the Wayne National Forest to Athens.
=20
On the 19th we can run north again using back roads of our choosing to =
get home. Likely some good routes north or run 555 for return. That will =
get planned.
=20
As for accommodations; there are several Motels in Athens and =
I=E2=80=99ll do more research on those once a participation count is =
firmed up.
=20
So let me know your intentions ASAP and pick a roomie and we can go from =
there.
