Our route is a leisurely cruise into and through Ohio on mostly lightly traveled and enjoyable roads. We will make multiple stops featuring covered bridges, and just relaxation. Plan to get there a little early if you want to enjoy the park. Ohio members are welcome to join us along the way!

We join with the Ohio club in historically beautiful Canal Winchester, OH.
We’ll have socializing, and dinner at the unique “rockin’” TAP DOG destination brewery.

Saturday September 7
Is a day of driving the curvy roads and the sights only Hocking Hills has to offer. At times you’ll think you’re driving the ‘Tail of the Dragon’ but with a view! All with various entertaining areas along the way, ending with a visit to a local glass blowing artisan for a demonstration.

Lunch and dinner times and logistics will be included in the itinerary.

In the evening Mike K. and I are inviting everyone to come relax, snack and socialize in our Tap Dog/Dog House Hotel room.
This is not a complimentary service the hotel provides.
There will be a “tip jar” to cover costs for the multiple tappers you will enjoy.
