Don’t look at it on mobile. For some reason mobile shows slab the whole way day. There’s 33 and a bit of 77 I think but that’s it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmh_sprint Posted June 15, 2018 Report Share Posted June 15, 2018 revised day 1 that removes about half of 77. https://goo.gl/maps/Wbc48gn5dzt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Casper Posted June 15, 2018 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2018 Looks like meeting at my house in Pickerington around 8:30 - 9:00am and hitting the road by 9:30am. I’ll have coffee and probably donuts or something at the house. If you don’t know where I live and want to join us for the ride down, send me a PM.

thompsonian Posted June 18, 2018 Report Share Posted June 18, 2018 One road you shouldn't overlook while you're down that was is WV-99, Bolt Mountain Road. It's FANTASTIC. You could easily detour across it, pick up 85, then I believe it's 10 and be back on original route. Not sure how much time that adds.

It would probably add 40 miles to your route, but... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
