Second chance Region 4 campout. Hocking Hills this time! Reserve now!

[sleazy rider]

Would there be any interest in a second camping excursion this fall?  I'm thinking Oct 1-3 to Hocking Hills State Park.  Get there Friday after work, ride the Triple Nickel and other fine roads in the area, then take Sunday afternoon to come home.  Hopefully, I'll have my Daytona back by then with some reliability installed.    For those with extra vacation days like me, I'll plan on arriving Thursday night, securing a good site for us and figure out a fun day for Friday.

Hocking Hills SP has electric campsites @ $28 per night and mini-cabins @ $40 per night.

Well I do have about a month of vacation time built up.  I may be interested. I will have to check the vacation book.

[Max Wedge]

Definetly interested. After August, I am mostly free.   I have been thinking about doing the 555.

[Bender]

YOU BET .....

Now if the stars align properly.

Bow opener?  That'd be tough.  Seems like I might have something else then too- I'll be back.

 I have been thinking about doing the 555.

I may be there Sunday.

This is just a starter topic.  Times and dates can be shuffled if needed.  I'd prefer late September/early October due to my commitments at work & home for the next 4-6 weeks.  Location is flexible too, if someone else has a better suggestion.  I just wanna go ride in the Hills region again sometime this year with this group.

[wibornz]

the dates are good with me.   Carla and I are going to ride 250 to skyline dr. the first part of the week and be back to the camp ground on thurs the first.  

[McHack]

I'm a possible maybe,  I cant do Friday night....  but, Saturday seems possible,  as of today...

Oh,  if anyone digs some good hiking while there,  I heartily recommend Cantwell Cliffs.

Will they let you put more than 1 tent on a site ??  I'll split a spot if they will...I cannot commit until really close due to work scheduling.

[sleazy rider]

Just tinkering around in Mapsource for some rides...

Friday's bonus early arriver ride suggestion:

Three States, Ohio, Pennsylvania and West Virginia in a loop. 350 miles, 12 hours including food and photo stops.

[sleazy rider]

And for Saturday, I present the Triple Nickel:

200 miles, 7 hours including stops



 

PM for the actual Garmin gpx files.

[doogman4]

That's bow season. No way.  

Have fun.  

[sleazy rider]

Stay tuned.  I've got a possible weekend free on August 16-17.    Think northern Kentucky, ala Kincaid Lake State Park.  Basco and Stripes showed me some roads down there.  It's 4.5 hours from Detroit to the park.  Excellent camping facilities.

[Squijummonkey]

You've perked my interest. I don't have any classes on Friday, so it's perfect.  Now all I have left to do is check with Krell when he gets back =D

I think we can.  Will check their website and with the campground today.  


From the website:

Campsites accommodate a tent or tents with combined floor space under 200 square feet, or a camper and a tent
Parking pads fit 2 cars, or a car and a camper, or up to 3 motorcycles, and vehicle passes are available at some parks for extra cars
Each site accommodates families or groups of up to 6

My tent is a grand total of 20 square feet, so that leaves 180 sf for two other tents.
