It's not too bad... One truck killer hill at peebles and one other little stretch o hills bout 20 min past peebles but relatively easy haul

Sweet!! 32 it is. Now, where to meet up?

gothodgie · 06-29-2013, 03:56 PM

somewhere off the Eastgate exit? It's been a while since i have been out there and i can't really think of where we could meet... I know there is a Walmart there that is on the east side of 275 on 32...

Coppertop · 06-29-2013, 07:23 PM

I hope to make this...

I just got back from Hocking Hills. I don't know how far you plan on taking 32 but there are defiantly some long steepish hills out east. It is fairly flat to Adams county but I don't think you will avoid many hills taking 32. The other problem is the further east you go it also takes you a fair way north. AA would be a better idea IMO.

What's this place like? Worth a 4.5-5 hour drive? How big, and what kinda obstacles/trails?

None of us have ever been there. We will let you know what it's like. It's 7000 acres of something...

Redriverranger · 07-09-2013, 06:48 AM

I haven't been there yet. I would like to check it out.

Plan on joining us then.

beer_goggles_009 · 07-10-2013, 08:57 AM

I contacted Rush Off-Road on Facebook and they are going to try to find someone to show us around. I told them that we are showing up around 10am Friday morning.

BillysGruff · 07-10-2013, 10:48 AM

Looks like fun. I'll get to do this fun stuff eventually. Looking forward to pics or vids.

Sweet! Let's plan on meeting at the Kroger right when you get on 32. They have fuel in case anyone needs some. Let's meet there at 8am.

Yeah, then you can go tear it up and do it again...

Its Meijer that's right on 32. Kroger is up on Eastgate Blvd, and they've got that all torn up for construction of the new interchange...

It's not tore up on the map...

Meijer it is. You know if they have fuel?

WrenchMonkey · 07-11-2013, 12:59 AM

There's a little gas station. I can't swear its Meijer, but I bet it don't matter...

itbrokeagain · 07-11-2013, 01:20 PM

Meijer does have fuel. Where do you plan on heading south and crossing the river?

I may do that. Rig's ready. I have the following week scheduled vacation anyway. I could potentially add Friday, and make it happen. I'll keep you posted.

Sounds good.

WrenchMonkey · 07-11-2013, 08:44 PM

I'd do 32 to 68, through Maysville to the AA.

You kids have fun! Wish I was going!

If your haulin with a 1972 half ton they suck but other than that it's really not a bad drive... We drag 5th wheel through no prob...

32 to 68 in mt Orab then all the way to maysville is easy haul

93 Krawler · 07-12-2013, 11:46 AM

I'm definitely more familiar with taking AA from 275 to Maysville than 32.
Google says from my house (Ross): 32 to 68 to AA is 169 miles, 3hrs 18 mins -- 275 to AA is 163 miles, 3hrs 10 mins.

I'm good with 32-68-AA. I want to stay away from the whole 75/471 mess anyway which is why 32 sounded better.

So let's meet at the Meijer right off 275 on 32 at 8am Friday.

For sure going:

Kevin (93 Krawler)
Jim (beer_goggles_009)
Ben (bbtank45)
Jimmy (Runoveru2)
Chris (gothodgie)

93 Krawler · 07-12-2013, 12:00 PM

I noticed the last update to the GPS map they have was July 5th, 2013.

Runoveru2 · 07-12-2013, 12:08 PM

I'm finishing up and checking over a few things on the rig today and will be ready to go.... Come on July 19th at 8am !!! I'm ready to get it on !!
