Any Interest For An Ohio Valley Meet?

I've been exchanging PMs with ALP,and I'm wanting to know if there's any interest for those that live in or reasonably near the Ohio Valley for a meet.

I'll be in Columbus sometime in July. How many hours south of there are we talking?

american lockpicker · **Reply #2 on:** April 02, 2009, 03:57:39 AM

If we have it on the forth of July I'll bring my rocket launcher. It would have to be closer to Parkersburg though.

I'm Still Bison · **Reply #3 on:** April 02, 2009, 03:58:43 AM

Right now an exact locale will depend on the response.FYI,I'm a 2 hour drive south of Columbus.

Mr. Whippy · **Reply #4 on:** April 08, 2009, 03:55:23 AM

I'd need a specific date. Time off from work is a tricky thing--lead time is the key.

I'm Still Bison · **Reply #5 on:** April 08, 2009, 05:16:54 AM

Right now,sometime in July looks feasible,of course it'll be fine tuned as time gets closer.How much lead time do you need?

Mr. Whippy · **Reply #6 on:** April 08, 2009, 04:11:11 PM

Well, 4-6 weeks usually, but Summer is a tricky time. OTOH, there are occasional weekends that will still be open, just less predictable.

I'm interested... although I'm not to excited about the prospect of spending any amount of time in Ohio

Not a problem we could have it in West Virginia.

Ugh. The only thing worse than being in Ohio is being south of Ohio.

Its not that bad*

West Virginia has some of the greatest motorcycle roads on the east coast. Getting a chance to ride them is just an added bonus.

J-sews · **Reply #16 on:** April 15, 2009, 03:57:33 AM

Yah, you guys know I'm just funnin'

I actually work with a guy from WV.

He was brought up near some big (famous?) bridge that spans a big gorge....?

Is that the one where you are allowed to jump off it?

I think that's the New River Gorge. Folks BASE jump off it. There's a lot of rock climbing at the New River Gorge.

Naw you guys are just jealous cause we don't get feet and feet of snow every year

If there's anything at all to this global warming thing,in a few years,Michigan will be the new Tennessee.
And think of Ohio as being like Michigan with fewer Great Lakes

As fairly close as I am to the New River Gorge,I've only been there once,on the New River Excursion trains that are run in the autumn.Some superb white water rafting goes on there on the New and Gauley Rivers.

Mr. Whippy · **Reply #21 on:** May 13, 2009, 06:14:15 PM

Bump!

So what's the update on an Ohio Valley Meet?

I'm Still Bison · **Reply #22 on:** May 13, 2009, 09:05:39 PM

Not much to update,right now.I'm hoping the end of the school year brings on some more interest before gas prices start upward again.

GMArthur · **Reply #23 on:** May 29, 2009, 05:44:29 AM

I'd be interested. I live just outside of Youngstown. As long as we're talking an hour or two drive I'd be down for a get together. To be honest I wouldn't drive 4 hours to hang out with a bunch of tool geeks from an internet forum.

Alright. When you put it that way I'll stretch it to two and a half hours drive...
