Wow, my family comes from Grafton. Like 15 minutes from Lodi outlets. When I took over the Mansfield store for 8 weeks I was driving 303 to 83 to 71. (Normally 303 to 301) I was just there for 4 days last week.

I believe they have some campgrounds, a neat little town, and some killer back roads....

As far as whats to do, that just depends on which one you pick.

I'll keep those in mind, but I don't expect I'll be camping in OH. I'll likely just leave the Buffalo area Monday morning and ride straight through back home.

If the trip goes as expected, I'll likely be through there around lunch time Monday. Thanks for your number, I'll PM mine to you.

I'm 50 times too late...

but you should have gone to the HD Bike Museum in Milwalkie. And way to go within 1hr of me.

I can't give you any advice cause you are gone. Oh... I'll text ya.

Stopped at hotel near the falls. God, it's expensive. But, by tent got extremely soaked last night and the waterproofing apparently didn't work. The storm was pretty bad and we got a ton of rain. Had to pack up a wet tent, sleeping bag etc. and had no way to let them dry. Plus, it rained on me even more on the ride over to the falls. My phone is on roam up here in Canader, so I haven't been sending pics to FB since crossing the border. I'll post up a full ride report when I get back home Monday. It's been a pretty damn good trip, aside from paying for this hotel. Probably should have said hell with it and slept in wet gear.

Seems like I missed everyone from the forum.

Oh well, next time.

You've got OH to come through so there is a chance you can still meet one member!!

CrazyKell · 08-23-2010, 12:17 AM

I'm sorry I didn't get your message until later and then missed meeting up with you.

Been one helluva week for me and it just didn't work out.

Glad you had a fun trip.
