Full size Ford. Looks just like the wheels on my Mom's old '89 F-150

Big cash but the possibilities..... http://silohome.com/

Geekdom wins again. This is fucking awesome. I believe i would have to invest in one if a pile of cash landed in my lap. http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=0b5_1310330270&p=1

Thanks for posting. This will make the day go better.

No need to cross the river to get there unless you are coming from north of Toledo. If you need to cross the river there is the new suspension bridge over 280 right by Packo's, the Hi Level Bridge just west of Downtown and the bridge over the river on 75. There is not a location on Sylvania Ave. The closest to Sylvania Ave is the Monroe St. just off 23 N. Tonypackos.com historic resturant in East Toledo made famous by Jamie Farr (Klinger in M.A.S.H.). May not know of this depending on your age. I have a back road route planned to avoid the main State Routes to make the trip as fun as possible. See link in original post. Excellent choice. The Dundee store is pretty nice and just over an hour away.

Playing golf in Findlay that morning. I'll be there if I get back in time.

Thoughts and prayers sent. Good people at the James.

Nice looking pad. Congrats!

I see he got your hair

Great looking baby! Congrats again to you and Carie!

Welcome to OR!

Congrats to both of you! Glad everyone is doing well.

The Cliff notes version of Todd's IMS trip : then then and then then sleep. Nothing else mattered.

My vote is for some creative editing. Although I bet it does get pretty dark inside that shit. I can only imagine what the finish on your car looks like after a few trips through that, not to mention having enough sand in your air filter to build a sand sculpture.

The Mrs and I may be in for this. The only obstacle is that one of our dogs is not doing very well.

Seattle is a great city. I'd love to go back. Glad your having fun. Be safe.

I just remembered that there would also be a good group photo op available near by for those who attend. The museum ship Willis B. Boyer has just been renovated, repainted and renamed. It is about 3 miles from Packo's and would make a great backdrop for a photo. http://boatnerd.com/news/newsthumbsb/images-11-2/All-ready.jpg

Sleeping Bear Dunes near Traverse City, Mackinaw City ( the old fort, retired Coast Guard Cutter Mackinaw). Other than that there aren't many stops once you start heading down the East side to Bay City where you're planning on picking up 23 / 75.

I planned this route as a possible to stay off the slab and have at least a few turns in the trip. http://www.mapquest.com/?version=1.0&hk=1-keBQwwpM

The thought was to have one in each geographic area of the state at some point in time. Toledo was picked last year because several of us who now live in Central Ohio grew up in Toledo and Packo's is a nostalgic place to eat. As is the case with any event you can't make everyone happy. Come across via 2 and enjoy the lake view and smell of dead fish.

Not to sound like a dick but your not in the UP. You don't get into the UP until after you cross the Mackinaw Bridge. I have ridden around the the eastern end of the UP both on bikes and sleds and it is absolutely beautiful. Based on a conversation I had with Pfloydgad this weekend the Western Lower is nice but not much to see on the Eastern Lower.

Time to resurrect a meet & greet that was planned for last year but didn't happened. The plan would be to reserve the banquet room at Tony Packo's located at 1902 Front St. Toledo, Ohio. I've posted a poll for dates, each of the first 3 Saturday and Sunday's in August. Hopefully we can pull this together.

I'd figure I'd share a few observations of irony I had this weekend. 1) A newer black Cadillac sitting in a parking lot with a bumper sticker that said "Everything the government touches turns to shit" 2) While on the 555 ride I saw a sign for a church "Antioch Free Will Baptist Church".

OK. I'll run with it. I'll put a poll together and see what date, 13th or 20th, works best.

Just a quick shower outside of Athens. Actually felt good for the few minutes it lasted. It was hot as hell down there.
